The Winnipeg based  Canadian Ladies Bandy team will have a rematch with USA Saturday morning in a playoff for 5th place at the World Ladies Bandy Championships being held in Sweden.  Team Canada lost a game earlier Friday morning to USA, 2-1 in a shoot-out, and then lost 4-0 to Finland on Friday afternoon.

The Finns were a much improved team from last year's championship and dominated the Canadian squad. 

Sweden will take on Russia for the gold medal, and Norway and Finland will meet in the the Bronze medal match.  Last year, Canada lost the bronze medal in a shoot out to Norway.
