HERNING, Denmark – Four Boston College women's hockey players were members of the U.S. National Team that earned a silver medal at the 2022 IIHF Women's World Championship on Sunday.

Current Eagles Cayla Barnes and Hannah Bilka along with alums Alex Carpenter '16 and Megan Keller '19 were members of the U.S. squad that fell to Canada, 2-1, at the KVIK Ice Center.

In what was her debut with the senior U.S. National Team debut, Bilka finished the tournament third overall in scoring with 12 points on five goals and seven assists. Barnes tallied five points on one goal and four assists, Carpenter had two goals and seven helpers for nine points while Keller racked up nine points off of one goal and eight assists.

This marks the third consecutive World Championships that this trio of Barnes, Keller and Carpenter have earned a medal, with all three taking home a gold in 2019 and a silver last August.
