The United States beat hosts Denmark 14-0 in a women’s ice hockey world championship quarter-final on Friday.

The defending champions raced to a 5-0 lead within eight minutes and had scored 10 times by the end of the second period.

Their 85 shots set a single-game tournament record, surpassing the previous mark of 82, also set by the US.

Goaltender Gwyneth Philips made eight saves to earn a shutout, while Taylor Fox led the scoring with a goal and three assists.

The win sends the US into Sunday’s semi-finals against Finland, which advanced with a 6-0 win over Germany.

Canada also reached the semi-finals after beating the Czech Republic 3-2, and will face Sweden, which defeated Switzerland 1-0.

The four teams will compete for places in the final in the next round.
