HEINOLA, Finland -- Canada is golden once again at the world under-18 womens hockey championship. Karly Heffernan of St. Albert, Alta., scored 58 seconds into overtime Saturday to lift the Canadians to a thrilling 2-1 victory over arch-rival United States. The victory came after some nailbiting moments in the Canadian dressing room before the overtime period. Catherine Dubois of Quebec City gave Canada a chance at victory when she scored with just 13 seconds left in regulation to send the game into an extra period. "We were pretty shaken, we were really happy, and we needed to calm down for the overtime," Heffernan said. The Canadians cemented the victory when Hanna Bunton of Belleville, Ont., fired a pass from behind the net that Heffernan one-timed. "It was definitely the biggest goal (of my career). I cant even remember half of it, its crazy," Heffernan said laughing. Canadian coach Jim Fetter said he spent the break before overtime reassuring his team. "We just talked about the process and what our goal was here, and a couple of other words in there," Fetter said. "Just that they were good and for them to believe, that we were in great shape ... just kind of built them up and let them know that as a staff we were calm as well and we believed in them and that it only took one shot. "And obviously thats what happened." Jennifer Ryan scored for the U.S. scored ath the 18:04 mark of the first period, as the Americans pelted Canadas net through a shaky first period that saw the U.S. outshoot the defending champions 20-1. "We didnt get a very good start, they kind of took it to us in the first period and we had great goaltending by Kimberly Newell," Fetter said. "We just talked to the girls about sticking to the plan and use our conditioning and I think thats the one thing is we were in pretty good shape and we were able to keep rolling lines and putting all kinds of pressure on them." Newell, a native of Burnaby, B.C., stopped 39 shots while American goalie Sidney Peters made 23 saves. Canada defeated the U.S. 3-0 in last years final. The two teams have dominated the event, meeting in the final at all five previous world championships. The Americans won gold on three occasions, while Canadas third title came in 2010. "We knew this was going to be a big rivalry going into it, we knew both teams were very strong, but as a team I think we stuck together," said Canadian captain Kristyn Capizzano. "We knew what we were capable of doing and I think thats what made us reach our goal here." Canada had beaten the U.S. in a three-game series this past summer, splitting the first two games before clinching the third game in a shootout. "I wasnt expecting anything different here," said Fetter, who was an assistant with the team that won gold last year. "I think the girls believed in that as well and just kept working hard and obviously came out on the right end of the stick here." Canada finished atop Group A of the preliminary round with a 3-0 record, outscoring its opponents by a 15-1 margin. The Americans won Group B with an identical record but scored 25 goals while allowing none during the preliminary round. The U.S. was the first team in tournament history not to allow a goal during the preliminary round.

The Angels will give the ball to Dan Haren this afternoon, and he has enjoyed tremendous success to date. The righty is 12-6 with a 2.91 ERA and has lost just once since June 18th. On Tuesday, Haren limited the Yankees to one run through six innings, but he struggled in the seventh frame and was handed a no-decision. While Haren does own a 6-2 lifetime record versus the Blue Jays, he owns a lofty 5.40 ERA over that span. Slated to oppose Haren for Toronto is lefty Brett Cecil, who is 4-5 with a 4.31 ERA. Cecil has put together four consecutive quality starts and is coming off a seven-inning performance against Oakland in which he permitted three runs. Remarkably, the last seven runs permitted by the hurler have all come via home runs. Cecil is 1-1 lifetime versus the Angels with a 6.00 ERA. On Saturday, Adam Lind hit the third grand slam of his career to help the Blue Jays to an 11-2 pummeling of the Angels in the second of a three-game set. Lind finished with five RBI while Edwin Encarnacion hit a two-run home run and drove in three for the Blue Jays, who had lost three of four coming in. Encarnacion is 16-for-39 during his 12-game hitting streak. Ricky Romero (11-9) carried a no-hittter into the fifth inning and left the game after seven innings as he gave up just one run on two hits to win his fourth straight start.dddddddddddd Alberto Callaspo hit a solo home run and Mark Trumbo drove in the other run for the Angels, who have now lost three of four. Jered Weaver (14-6) had his club record of 15 straight quality starts snapped as he was tagged for eight runs on eight hits over just 4 2/3 innings. It was his first appearance since serving a six-game suspension handed to him after he threw a pitch at the head of Detroits Alex Avila in a game on July 31. Weaver appealed the decision, but dropped it after a start on August 5. Weaver had gone 25 straight starts of six innings or more while allowing seven hits or less. That was the longest such streak in the majors since 1919. "It was just one of those days out there," said Weaver. "It took 20-some starts for it to happen, but it happened and you cant hang your head over it. Ill be ready for my next start." Angels designated hitter Torii Hunter extended his hitting streak to 11 games with a triple in the ninth. He is batting 19-for-40 during his run. While the Angels are three games back of Texas in the AL West standings, Toronto is a hopeless 13 1/2 games behind front-running Boston in the AL East. Los Angeles won two of three at home versus Toronto back in April. ' ' '
