Over the past four days, we have competed in four
games. As mentioned in a previous post, our first game was a tough loss to Team Canada. A last second surge gave us a great opportunity to tie it up at the final buzzer, but we unfortunately came up short. Our second game was a matchup
against Russia, which unfortunately resulted in an 11-6 loss; we felt like we had some good chances, but in
the end they were the better team that day. In the third game, we played the host country – Team Israel. They gave us a very good test, as they have
with all teams, but we were able to pull out our first victory of the
tournament. It was good to get a win
under our belt before we moved out of the round robin portion of the tourney and into the playoff rounds.
With a 1-2 record and the #3 seed going into the playoffs, we had a rematch with the #2 seed Team Russia. With a solid game plan put together by our coaching staff, the team dug deep and executed on it flawlessly. As a result, we come out on top with a 6-5 victory. That win put us in the gold medal game against the #1 seed and undefeated Team Canada. We're looking forward to that final showdown tomorrow night, but for now, we're about to get some much needed rest. Thanks for checking in!
