SMITHS FALLS, Ont. (CP) -- Shelley Looney scored her second goal of
the night just 15 seconds into the overtime period as the Americans
defeated Canada 2-1 in the inaugural Three Nations Cup women's hockey
tournament Thursday.

France St. Louis of St-Hubert, Que., gave Canada a 1-0 lead at 16:30 of
the first period before Looney scored at 15:55 of the second to tie the
game.

A jam-packed crowd of over 1,650 people watched the round-robin game at
the Smiths Falls Community Centre.

Despite the loss, Canada's 3-1 record is good enough for a berth in
Sunday's final at the Ottawa Civic Centre. Tonight's game between the
U.S. and Finland in Ottawa will determine the other finalist.

Karen Nystrom, a fourth-year player on the Canadian team, was injured
when she crashed into the boards head first while chasing a loose puck
near centre-ice in the second period.  She was taken away in an ambulance
for observation.
