China's lone tally of the game came late in the third on the Power Play and following a goaltending change as Brianne McLaughlin replaced Molly Schaus in net.
Erika Lawler was injured in the first period and did not return to the game following evaluation. Racing to take control of the puck Lawler collided with a Chinese defender along the boards causing her foot to be taken out from under her.
