Women’s Hockey Worlds: U.S. looks like a new team thanks to bench utilization

In its first real test of the 2022 IIHF Women’s World Championship, the U.S. women’s hockey team passed with flying colors. Team USA defeated Finland, 6-1, in Saturday’s group A matchup at Kvik Hockey Arena in Herning, Denmark.

Ohio State alum Jincy Dunne put the U.S. on the board six minutes into the game, marking the 25-year-old’s first senior national team goal (video embedded below.)

“For me, it was a long time coming,” Dunne told On Her Turf. “That was a pretty sweet moment. I’m not going to forget that.”
