Not only another timeout did not help, but also were Australians unable to stop Acicia Walker to equalize by her second goal in the match. After a game winning goal shot by Sarah Albrecht, MVP of the game, USA players guarded their lead 10:9 and did not let their opponents even touch a ball for last three minutes. |

USA made a noticeable advantage in early stages of the game, most active players were Lindsey Munday with six goals and Caroline Cryer with five strikes. Japanese were using every chance to attack and even repeatedly managed to push a ball behind goalkeeper's back through sometimes loose defense of their opponent. Akiko Wade scored four times. |

Americans squeezed Maple Leaves on their half of the field and did not let them to any chance, what was soon projected to score. They scored five times in last fifteen minutes, after two turning goals of Lindsey Munday. Canadians did not shoot any goal and lost the second period 8:0. |
