U.S. Head Coach Greg Ryan

The mentality of this team is to look at any situation like this and just step out with a determination to win the day, and that’s what they didI don’t think the crowd affected them, I don’t think the cold affected them. I could see it in their faces and eyes before the game started, there was that additional focus and determination to win this game today. You don’t always get the breaks, but I knew they would do everything they needed to do to win it.
