Last game of prelimanary round and Team USA displays whats its capable of doing when they are in tune from the beginning of the game...Team USA starts out with a 5-0 run...Wenger converts on a 6on5 goal to open up the scoring..Wenger gives an assists to Villa on a 3on2 counter attack....Then Kami Craig converts a center goal....Team USA earns another ejection and Van Norman with a perfect pause scores from the post...Figgee scores her first of five with a natural goal from the outside...Puerto Rico earns an exclusion with :40 sec left in the quarter and converts...to end the quarter 5-1..
The first couple minutes of the second quarter passed by as both teams had a couple of turnovers...With 3 min into the quarter team USA earns an ejection...Petri gives Gregorka an awesome pass on the post which she converts into the first goal of the quarter....Another couple minutes pass by and Figge fires her second goal past the puerto rican goalie..The half ends 7-1 for Team USA...
The first 4 minutes of the third quarter seemed like a swim meet...finally team USA earns an ejection and Villa converts...Figee then scores her 3rd goal of the goal with another outside bullet.....Puerto Rico then gets on the board again with an outside shot....
VanNorman open up the fourth quarter with another perfect shot from the post...In the next offensive posession Figge once again fires in another goal....Two posessions later Team USA comes down with a counter attack which Gregorka converts...But it was a great structured counter attack which started with a pass from Petri to Steffens and finally to gregorka to finish it with a goal...The last goal of the game was scored by Figee after outsmarted the goalie..she ball facked a pass into set the goalie bit come out and Figee lobbed it into the goal...The final score was 13-2....
