  Leslie Reddon made 25 saves to lift Canada to a 4-1 victory over
Finland in the opener of the women's 3 Nations Cup tournament last
night at the Jim Durrell Arena.
  "It was a solid first effort and as the week goes along we'll build
from here," said the Mississauga goaltender.
  Fiona Smith of Edmonton, Angela James of Thornhill, Isabelle
Chartrand of Anjou, Que., and Karen Nystrom of Toronto scored Canada's
goals.  Sari Fisk was the only Finn to get a puck past Reddon.
  After a scoreless opening period, Smith and James scored before the
six-minute mark of the second and Chartrand made it 3-0 at 7:48 of the
third.
  Tonight, Canada plays the United States in Cornwall, at 7. The
eight-day tournament wraps up with a championship game Sunday
afternoon at the Ottawa Civic Centre.
  This is the first of only two major women's tournaments before the
1998 Olympics in Nagano, Japan, where women's hockey will be an
official medal sport for the first time. [1]OTTAWA SUN
