VANCOUVER -- Anisa Guajardo had a second-half hat trick Sunday as Mexico beat the Dominican Republic 7-0 in the CONCACAF qualifying tournament for the London Olympics.
The win, coupled with a U.S. victory over Guatemala, advanced the Mexicans to the semifinals of the eight-team tournament.
Guajardo scored in the 49th, 62nd and 75th minutes. Rosario Saucedo netted in the 21st minute, Marylin Diaz in the 27th, and Jennifer Ruiz in the 38th and 71st.
Mexico plays the United States on Tuesday in a game that will determine first place in their group.
Looking to keep its players fresh for the U.S. game and the semifinals, Mexico made nine changes to the starting lineup that beat Guatemala on Friday.
The Dominicans, who lost 14-0 to the U.S. on Friday, have been outscored 21-0 in the tournament.
