STOCKHOLM (AP) — Reto Berra made 29 saves, and Nino Niederreiter, Julian Walker and Reto Suri scored to help Switzerland beat the United States 3-0 on Saturday in the world hockey semifinals.
Switzerland, 9-0 in the tournament, will face Sweden in the final Sunday. Sweden beat Finland 3-0.
The last time Switzerland won a world championship medal was in 1953, when it took bronze.
"It's something historic for Swiss hockey and Switzerland itself. To get this far in the world tournament is pretty special for the whole country right now," Switzerland coach Sean Simpson said.
