USA vs Russia

The USA came out today with the intensity that they did not have against Australia. This is a pretty good Russian group. The USA just came out with some determination.

Lot's of scoring balance for the USA in this tournament. With the exception of the Australia game, someone came out hot in every game to get the US a lead. Hooper looked good early. Hartley took over at times. Plaisance had probably her best game. Late, Bradford took charge again. Sims was better against Australia, but made some key defensive plays when we needed them today.

Good win.
 
Really good defensive pressure by the Yanks, and pretty good rebound positioning. Nice balance, and a well earned gold for the U.S.A. Nice job by Sherri and staff. :clap
 
I think we played Russia na a sort of warm-up game before the tournament and got embarrassed. Beating them handily in the finals just shows you how good a job Sherri did in getting these guys to play well together.
 
When Sherri has the talent she can coach with the best of'em. It's the recruiting that causes her some problems.
