WORLD LEAGUE CHAMPIONS BACK TO BACK!!!!

Game 5
USA vs Australia
Championship Game
We were able to defend our World League Title against the Australians today ..We talked about minimizing our turnovers and working a little harder on offense...We were able to break down their very aggresive press and over committing offense..the battle of 6on5 and 5on6 made a difference in the game..We won that battle..we kept their 6on5 to 1 of 9....and we were able to connect on 5 of 11..6on5...nice job girls...Petie opened up the scoring with a 6on5 goal in the first posession of the game..We continued with a outside bullet by Natalie Golda..Petie scored one more 6on5 goal to end the first quarter with a 3-1 lead..
I think the half ended with a lead of 5-3.Two goals contributed by lauren wenger, one on 6on5 and another natural from the outside..The details are a little blurry..I do remember that Kami Craig had an awesome goal from center in the 3rd quarter...followed up by another goal on 6on5 by cardenas...The third quarter ended with a 7-3 US lead..The fourth quarter was rounded up by 1 more goal from each team...I added the last goal for us on a 6on5...
US wins 8-4....
Petri 2, Villa 1, Wenger 2,golda 1, Cardenas 1, Kraig 1...
