VEYSONNAZ, Switzerland – It was a sweep for U.S. Snowboarding Sunday with Lindsey Jacobellis of Stratton Mountain, Vt., and teammate Nate Holland of Squaw Valley winning at the Veysonnaz World Cup.

Jacobellis continued on a roll with her third straight win of the season to remain undefeated starting with her victory in the USANA Snowboardcross Cup at Telluride last month. The tour now swings back to the United States for next weekend’s X Games in Aspen.

Holland now leads the pack in the World Cup snowboardcross rankings; his first win since last season’s event in Lech. He took the win in a photo finish – a mere half board length ahead of Swiss Markus Schairer.

“I knew I was riding well on this course. I love this course, like I said I love the speed,” Holland said.
