In front of more than 3,000 fans, team USA got right to business downing Canada 2-0 in the first game of their Group A play.

The hot start led USA to lead 21-8 in shots after the second period.
Four minutes into the third period, Gigi Marvin added another insurance goal to pad USA’s lead. That’s all team USA would need as goaltender Nicole Hensley would shut the door for team USA. Hensley made 18 saves on 18 shots, completing a shutout.
