USA 10 Rus 6
We were able to continue or momentum from last night's win and were able jump on Russia 3-0. We did a better job today with maintaining a lead by keeping our composure and sticking to the game plan, which is simple play great defense and counter. At the end of the second quarter we kept our 3 goal lead and ended the half with 4-1 lead.
The start of the second half saw Russia pick up their offensive attack but we met their challenge and answered back matching them goal for goal and ended the quarter with 4 goals to their 3.
We started the fourth quarter with a four goal lead and we did not look back..There was about 3 minutes of chaotic play by both teams but no one was able to convert their goals. We were able to draw first blood in the fourth quarter and that gave us the confidence and composure to keep playing without letting Russia back in the game.
Tomorrow we play China, which is our first opponent at the Olympics..
