Game Time: 11:45am
Final Score: Brazil 24- USA 66
We had a good start today. We started Natalie with the Scooby-Twos (as Coach calls us) or in other words Nat, Steph, Christina, Becca, and me. We finally clicked like we were suppoed to and like we want to. In fact the entire team found a momentum and chemistry that worked for everyone.
We held Brazil to 8 points in the first half and were feeling great throughout the game. Almost everyone took a shot and/or scored, which is great to see. Caitlin, the newest and youngest member of our team took a couple of big shots. Unfortunately, they didn't fall, but it was great to see her have that kind of confidence and determination.
Overall, everyone was pleased and our defense was solid. After our game, the USA men played Poland and won handily. It was a good day for both teams.
We had practice tonight and are on our way to dinner in a few. Tomorrow we have a shoot around in the morning and we play China tomorrow night.
A few other results (on the womens side) for the day:
Canada pulled out a win against the Netherlands by 4.
Germany beat China by about 40 or so.
Australia and Great Britain had the day off.
