GANGNEUNG, South Korea (Reuters) - Korea's unified women's Olympic hockey team suffered their second lop-sided defeat on Monday, as seven different players scored to lift Sweden to an 8-0 win on another night of jubilant displays of goodwill between the two Koreas.

While the scoreboard may not have suggested it, the Korean squad gave their fans far more to cheer about than during their pummelling by Switzerland in their Pyeongchang Games opener, with extended stretches of pressure and a number of quality scoring opportunities.
