U.S. women's soccer team beats Canada, 2-0, in final of Olympic qualifying tournament

Lindsey Horan and Tobin Heath scored in the second half and the United States defeated Canada, 2-0, on Sunday in the final match at the CONCACAF Olympic qualifying tournament.

Both teams had already claimed the region's two spots in the Rio Olympics this summer with semifinal victories. Alex Morgan scored three goals in a 5-0 U.S. victory Friday over Trinidad and Tobago, while Christine Sinclair scored twice in Canada's 3-1 win over Costa Rica.

The United States has won the past three gold medals and four overall since women's soccer became an Olympic sport in 1996.
