PYEONGCHANG, South Korea (AP) -- The United States will play for a gold medal in women's hockey for the third straight Olympics.
The Americans are back in the title game after a 5-0 victory over Finland on Monday in the semifinals. They'll play the winner of the other semifinal game between Canada and the Russians on Thursday.
Also on Monday at the Pyeongchang Games, Canada's Tessa Virtue and Scott Moir broke their own record in the ice dancing short program with 83.67 points. The French pair of Gabriella Papadakis and Guillaume Cizeron overcame a wardrobe malfunction to place second. Americans Madison Hubbell and Zachary Donohue are in third, two-hundredths of a point ahead of their compatriots, Maia and Alex Shibutani.
The free skate will be on Tuesday.
In women's hockey, the United States will be trying to win its first gold medal since 1998. Canada -- which is heavily favored to advance -- has won the last four gold medals.
"It's honestly a dream come true," U.S. forward Hilary Knight said. "This is the world's biggest stage. This is the game that you want. This is the game we've been dreaming of and to have another opportunity to get back here, it's huge."
Dani Cameranesi scored two goals and added an assist to push the Americans to their big win over Finland. The 22-year-old Cameranesi is playing in her first Olympics.
