Canada and Guyana played the first Pool A match of the 2013 Women’s Pan American Cup. Canada scored first off an early goal by Hannah Haughn in the 5^th minute.  A hard blast made it 2-0 by Thea Culley in the 15^th minute. Five minutes later Canada went ahead 3-0 off a Abigail Raye field goal. Throughout the first half Canada dominated possession and was awarded a number of penalty corners. However, Guyana’s defense behind the strong play of Alysa Xavier, Guyana’s keeper, prevented Canada from scoring off any of their penalty corners. Jessica Barnett gave Canada a 4-0 lead right before halftime. The second half started just like the first ended, with Canada strong on attack. Midway through the second half Canada held a seven goal lead over Guyana, after back-to-back penalty corner goals by Culley and Brienne Stairs, respectively. Much to their credit, Guyana kept playing strong defense, and prevented Canada from scoring for almost the rest of the half. Canada’s Stephanie Norlander scored in the final minutes making the final score, Canada 8-0 Guyana.
