Fourteen days later, Guilday was back out on the ice in Milan, this time with a gold medal around her neck. Serving as the extra defender throughout the tournament, Guilday was part of a historically dominant U.S. team, which outscored opponents 33-2 in its 7-0 campaign. However, for nearly 40 minutes of the gold medal game, Canadian Kristen O’Neill ’20 seemed poised to be the hero of the tournament. Guilday’s gold was the first Olympic ice hockey medal won by a non-Canadian Cornell alum. Meanwhile, the Cornell’s women’s ice hockey team returns to the ice next weekend for a best-of-three playoff series against Colgate at Lynah Rink.
