Finland will be playing the United States in the semifinals after routing Sweden 7-2 in the quarterfinals of women's hockey.
Sweden beat Finland in this same game 4-2 in 2014 at Sochi. This time, the Finns came in ranked third in the world last year with an upset of Canada in the preliminary round of the 2017 world championships last spring.
Finland jumped on Sweden, scoring three goals in the first Saturday.
Riikka Valila led six scorers with two goals, including one that deflected in off her mask.
The semifinal will be a rematch of the opener between Finland and the United States. The Americans won that 3-1.
The Olympic Athletes from Russia will play Canada in the other women's semifinal.
