With
a pair of two-goal efforts, BU’s Victoria Bach has led Canada to the gold medal
game of the Nation’s Cup in Füssen, Germany. The freshman from Milton, Ontario, led Canada to a 4-1
victory over Finland (in which ex-Terrier Kaleigh Fratkin added a goal) and a 5-1
win over Russia (in which Sarah Lefort also scored a goal). Current senior
Shannon Doyle and last year’s BU captain, Louise Warren, complete the Five-Terrier contingent among Canada’s 20 skaters. Canada meets Sweden in the final today.
