BEIJING -- The top-ranked United States beat China 2-0 Tuesday in the final game of the Four Nations Tournament, a warmup for the Women's World Cup this summer in Germany.

The United States also won the tournament title, because it won by the bigger margin in Tuesday's two games. Carli Lloyd scored at the 31-minute mark for the United States, and Amy Rodriguez scored 68 minutes in.

In the first game, No. 9-ranked Canada beat No. 4-ranked Sweden 1-0 when Christine Sinclair scored at the 32-minute mark.

The 11th-ranked host team China missed out on qualifying for the upcoming World Cup and is trying to secure a spot in the 2012 Olympics.
