Russian women, Finland advance to semifinals with big wins

GANGNEUNG, South Korea (AP) — The Russian team and Finland have set up a pair of rematches for the women's hockey semifinals with a couple of big wins.

Anna Shokhina had two goals and two assists as the "Olympic Athletes from Russia" advanced with an upset 6-2 win over Switzerland on Saturday. Riikka Valila scored two goals as Finland routed Sweden 7-2 in a little payback for a quarterfinal loss to the Swedes at the 2014 Sochi Gmes.

Now the Russians will play Canada, the defending gold medalist who beat the Russians 5-0 in their opener for the tournament.
