LATE GOAL GIVES U.S. DRAW >> The United States’ 16-match winning streak was snapped in a 1-1 draw with Sweden on April 10 in Carli Lloyd’s 300th national team appearance.

Lina Hurtig put Sweden ahead off a set piece in the 38th minute before Megan Rapinoe’s penalty kick pulled the United States even in the 87th.

The draw extended the U.S. team’s unbeaten streak to 38 games. Rapinoe’s goal was her sixth this year to lead the team.

Rapinoe said the scare from the Swedes will help the United States as it prepares for the Olympics this summer.

“Even throughout the whole game, I was kind of thinking, ‘This is exactly what we need.’ We didn’t play well. We were very sloppy,” she said.

CANUCKS CAN RESUME >> The NHL says the Vancouver Canucks will reopen team facilities April 11 and resume play April 16 after a COVID-19 outbreak in which 21 players and four staff members tested positive for the virus.

The Canucks’ next game will be their first since March 24. They still have 19 players on the league’s COVID protocol list.

Vancouver general manager Jim Benning said he was optimistic his team would still be able to complete the shortened, 56game season. With schedule changes, the Canucks will need to play six consecutive days and eight of nine to get to 56 games by May 16.
