MILAN (AP) — Alina Muller did it again. Twelve years after scoring the clinching goal to deliver Switzerland its first Olympic medal in women's hockey — a bronze at the 2014 Sochi Games — Muller scored 9:09 into overtime in a 2-1 win over Sweden on Thursday for the bronze at the Milan Cortina Games.

Switzerland defeated Sweden 2-1 in overtime to win the bronze medal in women's hockey Thursday at the 2026 Milano Cortina Winter Olympics.

Every team comes to the Winter Olympics with the gold medal as its goal, but Team USA and Canada have a monopoly on that honor in women’s hockey, making the bronze-medal game a massive opportunity for another country to prove itself as the “best of the rest.
