USA's Head Coach, Christina Schwab, joyfully said:
“We are ecstatic about this team. We are very happy; almost forgotten that this medal has come after a long time. 13 years is a long time since we have won a medal at Worlds and the core group of girls have spent the time together. Great way to finish the tournament.
“We made a few adjustments, we put a press on the Germans, something we haven’t done before. It shows that we have a spark in our defence. The girl really executed the plans so well. I am so proud of them."
