In the second the United States defense again held Australia at bay while tacking on two more goals to grab a 3-0 advantage at intermission. In the third the Team USA offense started to click. While Australia would get on the board with a tally, Team USA delivered five goals to take control of the match at 8-1 going to the fourth. In the final eight minutes they peppered the cage with four more scores to take the game 12-1.<\/p>\n<p>Eight different scorers found the net for the United States who went 3\/6 on power plays with no penalties attempted. Australia was 0\/4 on power plays without attempting a penalty.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAustralia plays a strong, physical game and zoned pretty early and we struggled against this,&#8221; said <strong>Natalie Benson<\/strong>, Team USA Assistant Coach. &#8220;We were indecisive and passive and passed up on some good opportunities to get the ball into center and from the perimeter.
