GANGNEUNG, South Korea (AP) — Coach Sarah Murray promised Korea would get over the jitters and nerves that came with their Olympic debut along with all the history of being the first combined team ever to play in any games.
She was right.
Switzerland was better in its 2-0 win on Sunday, but the gap nowhere near as wide as it was the first time these teams met at the Pyeongchang Games — an 8-0 rout in an Olympic opener that had everyone's attention a day after the opening ceremony.
Janine Alder made 19 saves for the shutout with Florence Schelling getting a day off after playing in a 6-2 loss to the "Olympic athletes from Russia" in the quarterfinals.
