The semifinals of the 2022 Women's World Championship are here, and to the surprise of no one, the United States finds itself in the final four. It will square off against Czechia on Saturday morning.
Team USA has cruised through the tournament thus far. After a perfect preliminary round where they outscored their opponents 30-3, the Americans thumped Hungary 12-1 in the quarterfinals to advance. Hannah Bilka and Taylor Heise each recorded hat tricks while Amanda Kessel dished out four assists.
The biggest storyline from the win was Hilary Knight, who scored her 86th and 87th career points at the Worlds to pass former Canada star Hayley Wickenheiser for the most points all time at the tournament. She will work to continue adding to her total.
