SAN JOSE, Calif. — Wisconsin senior Lacey Eden scored two of the United States’ five first-half goals and the Americans beat Canada 7-2 Wednesday night in Game 1 of the Rivalry Series.

The last time the two teams met, Canada played spoilsport on American soil by winning the IIHF World Women’s Championship in April.

But Team USA continued its dominance in the Rivalry Series, winning Game 1 for the fifth straight time in the series for an overall record of 9-3-3-7.

Abbey Murphy also scored two goals for the United States. Murphy, the potential top pick in next summer’s PWHL draft, opened the scoring midway through the first period on a one-timer on a loose puck just before a penalty expired. Just over a minute later, defender Savannah Harmon redirected Grace Zumwinkle’s cross off the post to make it 2-0.

Eden scored back-to-back goals later in the first period. She deflected Megan Keller’s shot in front of the goal for a 3-0 lead, then sent a shot from a difficult angle off Kristen Campbell’s pads into the net.

Alex Carpenter gave Team USA a 5-0 lead with 24.9 seconds left in the first period on a backhand shot following Kirsten Simms’ steal and pass.

Hannah Bilka scored on a power play early in the second period against backup goalie Ann-Renée Desbiens for a 6-0 advantage. Murphy scored his second goal 90 seconds into the third to cap the scoring.

Blayre Turnbull and Sarah Nurse each scored for Canada late in the second period.

The five-game series continues Friday in Salt Lake City. Game 3 will take place in Boise, Idaho, on Sunday before the series moves to Halifax, Nova Scotia on February 6.
