To start the last day of pool play, the United States and Cuba played. The United States got on the scoreboard early in the second minute after Paige Selenski crossed the ball across the goal cage to Katie O’Donnell who was waiting on the opposite post. The United States maintained the attacking pressure. Cuba played strong team defense to prevent the United States from having more scoring opportunities until the 12^th minute when the United States earned a penalty corner. Cuba’s keeper Heidy Gonzalez blocked the penalty corner shot by United States’ Lauren Crandall. In the final minute of the first quarter, Selenski looked again to cross the ball to teammates near the goal post, but Selenski’s initial pass went into the goal to make the score United States 2, Cuba 0.

The second quarter started with the United States coming out with high attacking energy. Melissa Gonzalez dribbled around the penalty spot and shot a rocket past keeper Gonzalez to put her team ahead by three goals in the 17^th minute. Play continued in the United States attacking end.  Rachel Dawson converted the United States’ second penalty corner of the match in the 21^st minute to make the score United States 4, Cuba 0.

In the 57^th minute, Cuba had a rare opportunity on attack as Captain Mileysi Argentel ran down near Cuba’s attacking circle.
