For the 10th time ever, Team USA has won the gold medal at the #U18WomensWorlds.

Bianca Birrittieri was sensational, posting a 38-save shutout. The Providence commit gave up just two goals on 79 shots in four games.

As a Canadian fan I have this sinking feeling that this might be our first year since 2017 without at least 1 gold medal. Felt like this #U18WomensWorlds was our best chance.

Final: USA 2, Canada 0

The U.S. wins gold at the 2025 #U18WomensWorlds and have achieved the first perfect tournament in history (never trailing, never tied other than 0-0)
