Yesterday at Copper Box, the Canadian Women's Goalball team took a big step forward by beating Japan 1-0. Throwing a shutout in Goalball isn't entirely rare at this level, it happens, but given that Japan had scored 5 goals in their previous two games, shutting them out must be quite an accomplishment.
So, the good news is that Canada sits at 2-1 with one game left in pool D play, the bad news is that the remaining game is today against the United States, who also have a 2-1 record and have scored 9 goals. A win against the United States would guarantee a place in the medal round. A loss would not necessarily mean they would not make it - but they would need help The game is at 8:45AM, EST, Tuesday.
