VANCOUVER, British Columbia (AP) — Anisa Guajardo had a second-half hat trick Sunday as Mexico beat the Dominican Republic 7-0 in the CONCACAF qualifying tournament for the London Olympics.
Guajardo scored in the 49th, 62nd and 75th minutes for the Mexicans, who improved to 2-0 in the eight-team tournament. Rosario Saucedo scored in the 21st minute, Marylin Diaz in the 27th, and Jennifer Ruiz in the 38th and 71st.
Mexico wraps up group play against the United States on Tuesday in a game that likely will determine first place in their group.
Looking to keep its players fresh for the U.S. game and the semifinals, Mexico made nine changes to the starting lineup that beat Guatemala on Friday.
The Dominicans, who lost 14-0 to the U.S. on Friday, have been outscored 21-0 in the tournament.
