Wednesday 09.04.2014, 13:00 • Meo Arena, Přerov • Women's World Championship Divison I
     
    We have two more games on Day 3 of the 2014 IIHF Women's World Championship:

    16:30 Denmark – Slovakia
    20:00 Czech Republic – Norway (15:06:20)
     
    I don't think anyone who had watched the first period would have predicted this result. Not only that France won, but in a rout. France is now 2-1 with 6 points and Austria is 0-3 with 1 point, and in real danger now of being relegated.

    Players of the Game:

    FRA -Lea Parment

    The Austrian power play finally cashes in, though it's far too little, far too late. Altmann with the initial shot, then ANNA MEIXNER picked up the rebound at the side of the net and went upstairs over the shoulder of Baldin. Power-play goal.
