VANCOUVER, British Columbia (AP) - Kimberly Alexis Boulos scored to help Haiti beat Cuba 3-0 on Monday night in its final game at the CONCACAF Olympic qualifying tournament.

The victory was the first ever for the Haitians in the final round of Olympic qualifying. They lost their two previous games at this tournament to Canada and Costa Rica by a combined score of 8-0, putting the semifinals out of reach.

The Haitian players received a rousing ovation from the fans at BC Place after the final whistle.

Alexis Boulos scored in the 72nd minute, Manoucheka Pierre Louis in the 76th, and Nadia Valentin in the 82nd.

Cuba lost all three of its games by a combined score of 7-0.
