ANNAPOLIS, Md. -- Australia denied the United States its fifth-straight IFWLA World Cup by doubling up the U.S. 14-7 on Saturday afternoon before 6,000 at Navy-Marine Corps Memorial Stadium. Australia won its second World Cup championship, the first since 1986. Both victories have come on American soil, and the trend of the host nation failing to win the Cup in its seven events continued.
Australia's Jen Adams, the Cup's leading scorer, scored four goals and added three assists to lead all scorers. Teammate Sarah Forbes netted a hat trick and added three assists.
"We were quite fast. We had a lot of fire in us. When we stepped onto the field, we weren't afraid today, and that was a real key for us," said Adams. "We have a lot of young players. This is their first World Cup and they just stepped up to the plate and were amazing today."
Australia (7-0-1) went on a 5-0 run midway through the first half to take a 6-2 lead before heading into halftime up 7-3.
In the second half, Australia picked up where it left off by scoring the first two goals of the half. The teams traded goals before Australia netted two straight marks, with the latter coming from Hannah Nielsen at the 12:27 mark.
"We play a risky game," said Australian head coach Max Madonia. "We take risks. And if it's out, we're going to take it to the cooker."
Australia's defense held the U.S. to only two goals in the final 17 minutes of play. Goalkeeper Suzanne McSolvin recorded eight saves, and was named player of the match.
"When that happens, you always make the other team look hot," said U.S. head coach Sue Stahl. "There's no question they're the world champions, but we helped them out a little....It was not our best day."
The United States (6-1-1) was led offensively by Quinn Carney and Kate Kaiser, who scored two goals apiece.
This was the fifth time the U.S. and Australia have met in the IFWLA World Cup gold medal game, the U.S. has won three times. Australia now holds a 6-5-1 series advantage over the U.S. in World Cup competition.
