NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) – Vanessa Gill, Janine Sonis, Sydney Collins and Nichelle Prince scored as Canada defeated Colombia 4-1 in the SheBelieves Cup opener on Sunday. <\/p>\n

Canada ended its losing streak in international matches at five. They will play against the United States on Wednesday in Columbus, Ohio. <\/p>\n

In the 31st minute, Gilles headed in Sonis’ corner kick to take the lead. Sonis was awarded a penalty in the 67th minute and fired an arcing shot past goalkeeper Catelyn Tapia into the left corner. <\/p>\n
