Canada鈥檚 roster is Barton, Izabelle Berger, Jill Fougner, Tree Hagen, Erin Hamilton, Linda McColm, Annie Menard and Melany Tomyn. The team is coached by George Tokarsky from Alberta.
In the round robin, Canada beat Team Germany 2-0, struggled and lost to Team Czech 0-2 and then beat Team Norway 2-0 and Team Ukraine 2-0 over the first three days.
That put Canada in the semifinals on Friday against Germany and the Czech Republic against Ukraine in the other semi.
Both Canada and the Czech Republic won their semis 2-0 and it was on to the gold final on Saturday.
In a very exciting final, the Czech Republic won the first set and Canada won the second set and then after rearranging the roster for the third set, Canada won the gold.
The Canadian team鈥檚 setter Jill Fougner, a former senior national team player 1982-83, directed the offense with many spikes from Erin Hamilton.
