Jocelyne Lamoureux-Davidson tied it up for the Americans. She dug the puck out of the corner and skated in front of the net where goalie Noora Raty stopped Monique Lamoureux-Morando's backhander. The forward scored off the rebound past the Finn goalie's right skate at 8:58 in the second.
The Americans took a 2-1 lead with a power-play goal at 11:29. Hilary Knight passed to Kendall Coyne, who put a one-timer top shelf from the edge of the right circle.
Dani Cameranesi sealed it with an empty netter with 13 seconds left.
