They fought it to the last but Team Canada gave up gold to the Americans in the womenB次元官网网址檚 ice hockey final in Pyeongchang on Thursday.

Jocelyne Lamoureux-Davidson scored the winner in the sixth round of the shootout, giving Team USA a 3-2 win and their first gold medal in 20 years.

The Americans hadnB次元官网网址檛 won a womenB次元官网网址檚 hockey gold since the sportB次元官网网址檚 inaugural Olympic run at Nagano in 1998.

In a sign of just how tightly the womenB次元官网网址檚 Olympic journey had gripped the hockey-obsessed nation, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau took only minutes to respond.

B次元官网网址淵ou played amazing, itB次元官网网址檚 a terrible way to lose on the shootout,B次元官网网址� said Trudeau in a Twitter video from six-time Olympian Hayley Wickenheiser.

The U.S. picked up the first goal of the night with just 25 seconds to go in the first period as Hilary Knight shot it past Shannon Szabados on the AmericanB次元官网网址檚 third power play of the game.

The Canadians didnB次元官网网址檛 wait long to equal the scoreboard with a goal just two minutes into the second period. CalgaryB次元官网网址檚 Haley Irwin slid it past 20-year-old rookie Maddie Rooney after a pass from Blayre Turnbull.

Captain Marie-Philip Poulin made it 2-1 for the Canadians on an assist from B.C.B次元官网网址檚 Meghan Agosta and QuebecB次元官网网址檚 M茅lodie Daoust.

Agosta, a Vancouver police officer with three gold medals, has taken the past year off to train for the 2018 PyeongChang Olympics.

Monique Lamoureux-Morando upped the ante with a breakaway and made it a nailbiter as she tied it 2-2 for the AmericanB次元官网网址檚 less than seven minutes into the third.

The game went to a scoreless four-on-four overtime despite 16 shots on goal and a power play for the Canadians.

The first round of the shootout kicked off with Rooney blocking the first Canadian attempt from Natalie Spooner, while Gigi Marvin made it 1-0 as she slipped it past Szabados.

Agosta evened it out in the second round but the third round was scoreless.

M茅lodie Daoust and Amanda Kessel scored for the Canadians and Americans, respectively, in the fourth round but both CanadaB次元官网网址檚 Brianne Jenner and the American Knight remained scoreless in the fifth.

Lamoureux-Davidson scored a sixth-round goal that Agosta couldnB次元官网网址檛 match as the American slipped the puck around the left side of SzabadosB次元官网网址檚 stick to end the CanadiansB次元官网网址� bid for a record-breaking five consecutive gold medals.

Jocelyne Lamoureux-Davidson's shootout winner was ridiculous.

GAME NOTES: In some ways, itB次元官网网址檚 no wonder that the U.S. outshot and outscored the Canadians with seven power plays to the northernersB次元官网网址� two. It was a hard-fought game full of rookies, as 13 of the U.S. players had never seen Olympic play, although that didnB次元官网网址檛 stop them from playing their way to the top of the podium.
