Five minutes later the duo connected again, putting Team Canada up 3-0.

Timko took a ball from Amy Vermeulen in the 33rd to give the team a 4-0 advantage at the half.

Two minutes later, Rustad capitalized on a scramble with a goal, as did Kiss in the 73rd.

Rustad scored her second of the game off a Kiss corner kick before Timko rounded out the scoring in the 84th.
