The Latest: Swiss quash Japan's quest for women's hockey win

PYEONGCHANG, South Korea (AP) — The Latest on the Pyeongchang Olympics (all times local):

Sara Benz scored two power-play goals and Switzerland smothered Japan's quest for its first Olympic victory in women's hockey with a 3-1 win.

Japanese forward Rui Ukita sat out Monday, suspended for kicking at an opponent in their 2-1 opening loss to Sweden at the Pyeongchang Games.

Japan outshot the Swiss 38-18 and even had a 5-on-3 in the first period. But they couldn't beat goalie Florence Schelling even with an extra attacker over the final 3:46.

The Swiss got going in the second.
