"I'm so proud of the women on my team. We fought hard to get
here – we made sacrifices on and off the ice away from our loved
ones to come together as a team, and our effort paid off to
complete our journey to Olympic Gold," said Duggan. "I couldn't
have done it without them and the support of my family, Team
USA and Team Kellogg's. I
can't believe I'm on a second box of Special K!"
The epic game ended a 20-year drought, with a 3-2 win in
overtime and an eventual shootout.

her amazing victory with Team USA
in the best way we know how," said Sam
Minardi, director, brand marketing, Kellogg Company.
