Team USA enters the contest fresh off a back and forth battle with host country China that was not decided until the final minutes when Lauren Wenger (Long Beach, CA) connected for the game winning goal. Natalie Golda (Fullerton, CA) and Kami Craig (Santa Barbara, CA) were key in the game as well scoring four and three goals respectively.



In their first match of the tournament Italy scored somewhat of an upset defeating Russia 9-8. Russia is considered by many to be the hottest team heading into the Olympics. As for recent history between Team USA and Italy it goes back to the 2007 Holiday Cup in Long Beach, California, a tournament the Italians took first place in. During the tourney USA defeated Italy 12-8 with Golda scoring four goals in the win.
