Australia rising Tournament scoring leader Alivia del Basso with a scoring chance for Australia on Spanish goaltender Alba Gonzalo. Women’s team wins Division II Group B Australia barely avoided relegation one year ago, but on Sunday the team with the kangaroo on the jersey won the 2016 IIHF Ice Hockey Women’s World Championship Division II Group B that was held in Jaca in northern Spain. Thanks to the win the Australians will be back in the Division II Group A with the nations ranked 21st-26th, the range the ladies from Down Under have been playing from their first participation in 2001 until 2014 when they were relegated. The Australians took over first place from Spain on Day 4 after winning 4-1 against the host nation. This after a bad start into the tournament with a 2-1 loss in shootout against Mexico despite a 46-13 shot-on-goal advantage. Australia continued with a 12-0 blanking of Turkey and a 12-1 against New Zealand. At the tournament Australia was ranked better than their neighbouring country for the first time in since 2013. In front of 1,600 spectators Spain had the better start in the game that eventually decided the tournament as Ainhoa Merino opened the scoring against Australia after six minutes of play but goals from Kate Tihema nine minutes later and from Shona Powell with 42 seconds left gave Australia the lead before the first intermission. Australia dominated the game and had 38-16 shots on goal. After a scoreless middle frame Alivia del Basso made it 3-1 early in the third period and Tihema scored her second goal into the empty net with 106 seconds left in regulation time. The Australians still needed another win on the last day again Iceland to defend first place. Although goals from del Basso and Sari Lehmann built a two-goal cushion, the game remained tight. Flosrun Johannesdottir cut the lead one minute later and when in the third period Sharna Godfrey scored Australia’s third goal, Johannesdottir reacted with her second marker with 110 seconds left in the game. Iceland pulled the goalie but Australia’s 3-2 lead remained. Spain had a flawless tournament until the loss to Australia and had to settle for silver with 12 points, one less than the team from Down Under. With the silver medal the Spaniards tied their best-ever placing they also reached in 2012 and 2013. Iceland suffered two 3-2 losses to both Australia and Spain but won the other three games to earn the bronze medals ahead of Mexico and New Zealand. Turkey, which was promoted to the Division II Group B after winning the qualification tournament last year, lost all games and will be relegated. New Zealand had its only win against the Turks, a 7-4 decision with hat tricks by Anjali Thakker for the New Zealanders and by Seda Demir for Turkey. Australia’s Alivia del Basso led the tournament in goal scoring with eight markers and in scoring with 19 points ahead of New Zealand’s Anjali Thakker (7+3=10) and Iceland’s Flosrun Johannesdottir (6+3=9) and was named Best Forward of the tournament. Two other individual awards went to players from the host country as Alba Gonzalo was named Best Goaltender and Vanesa Abrisqueta Best Defenceman.
