Team USA continues the Qwest Tour
Just two weeks after landing in the U.S. after the 2009 Four Nations Championships, Team USA hit the road for another Qwest Tour game.

Weiland scored United State’s second goal in the victory with 2:14 left in the second period when she pushed the puck in from the left post past Hockey East’s Genevieve Lacasse.
Wisconsin graduate Angie Keseley (2009) recorded an assist in the victory.
