The 21-year-old speedskater claimed gold in the men's 500 meters. It was the fifth American gold earned at the Milan Cortina Games.
Stolz is quickly becoming the star of the Olympics for Team USA, especially after the disappointments in figure skating over the last few days.
Stolz was one of three Americans to double their medal tally in northern Italy on Saturday.
Freestyle skiers Jaelin Kauf and Elizabeth Lemley finished on the podium for the second time in a moguls event.
Team USA now has 17 total medals, three off Norway's lead. Norway became the first country to hit double-digit golds and the 20-medal mark on Saturday.

The 21-year-old became the second man in history to complete the 500-1,000-meter sweep at a single Winter Olympics. Eric Heiden achieved that feat for the USA at Lake Placid in 1980.
