VANCOUVER – Hayley Scamurra’s third-period goal stood as the winner as the United States women’s hockey team beat Canada 3-1 on Wednesday in Game 4 of their Rivalry Series.
Dani Cameranesi and Hilary Knight also scored for the U.S., while Jocelyne Larocque replied for Canada.
Katie Burt, making her first start in more than a year, recorded the win in net for the Americans.
The two teams were playing for the second time in three nights after Canada got its first win of the series with a 3-2 overtime victory on Monday in Victoria.
The U.S. opened the series with a 4-1 win in Hartford, Conn,. and a 2-1 win in Moncton, N.B., in December.
Both teams came out looking sharp on Wednesday and executing more crisply in front of fans clad primarily in Canada’s red maple leaf or the jerseys of their youth hockey teams.
U.S. coach Bob Corkum did some line juggling after Monday’s loss, and his speedy new combination of Kendall Coyne Schofield, Brianna Decker and Cameranesi was especially dangerous.
