Cayla Barnes (Eastvale, Calif.), Dani Cameranesi (Plymouth, Minn.), Kendall Coyne Schofield (Palos Heights, Ill.) and Hilary Knight (Sun Valley, Idaho) each scored goals as the U.S. defeated Japan, 4-0, in the quarterfinals of the 2019 IIHF Women’s World Championship. 

“We have to give credit to Team Japan tonight, they played us incredibly hard and did some really good things out there,” said Bob Corkum (Salisbury, Mass.), head coach of the U.S. Women’s National Team. “We are excited for the opportunity to play in the semifinals and will look to improve upon this performance against our next opponent.” 

Maddie Rooney (Andover, Minn.) stopped 10 Japanese attempts to seal the victory and complete her second shutout of the tournament. 

With the win, the U.S. (5-0-0-0/W-OTW-OTL-L) will advance to take on Russia in the semifinals on Saturday (April 13) at 1 p.m. ET. That game will be televised live in the United States on NHL Network.
