ITHACA, N.Y. – Four members of the Cornell women's hockey team claimed a world championship on Saturday night when Canada defeated the United States 4-3 in overtime at the 2012 IIHF World Women's Championships.

Caroline Ouellette scored the game-winning goal 1:50 into overtime, sending the Canadians to their first world championship since 2007.

On the roster for Canada were Cornell players Rebecca Johnston, Laura Fortino, Brianne Jenner and Lauriane Rougeau. All four played in the championship game, but none of them managed to get on the scoresheet. Fortino earned a +1 rating, and Johnston had five shots on goal.

Also part of the winning effort was Cornell head coach Doug Derraugh, who was an assistant coach for Canada.
