Coppell hockey player takes gold with USA

Coppell's Hannah Bilka and the U.S. women's hockey team won gold yesterday with an overtime goal over Team Canada.

• Plano's Amber Glenn placed fifth yesterday in women's figure skating. The U.S. also won gold in the figure skating team event earlier this month.

State of sticks: Bilka didn't score in yesterday's gold medal game, but her performance throughout the Olympics got Team USA to the top of the podium.

• She had two assists in the semifinals win over Sweden, sending the U.S. to yesterday's final. She scored three goals during the tournament, including two against Canada during preliminaries.
• Her goal against Italy triggered some shoving.

State of skates: Amber Glenn was seeking redemption during her women's free skate yesterday after a "soul-crushing" women's short program that put her in 13th place.

• Glenn's triple axels during the free skate was the best triple axel figure skating that legend Tara Lipinski has ever seen from Glenn.

What she's saying: Despite falling slightly in her final jump, Glenn scored a strong 147.52 to temporarily take first place after combining her women's short program and free skate scores.

• "I told myself, 'You just skated, stayed on your feet at the Olympics.' So I am proud that I was able to have that moment," Glenn said afterward.

What's next: The Olympics end on Sunday.
