At the opening whistle, Winnipeg’s Desiree Scott joined the century club, marking 100 international appearances for Canada. Deanne Rose scored twice in the first half, earning her first and second women’s national team goals, and Ashley Lawrence opened the second half with two goals in one two minutes, before finishing the game with a rare hat-trick.
