Musselman was named the MVP of the final. She joined Johnson, the top goalkeeper of the tournament, on the media all-star team.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s the fourth Worlds gold medal for <strong>Rachel Fattal,<\/strong> Musselman and <strong>Maggie Steffens.<\/strong> (Steffens has three Olympics golds, Fattal and Musselman two each.) <strong>Kaleigh Gilchrist,<\/strong> Johnson and <strong>Stephania Haralabidis<\/strong> each won their third. It\u2019s the second for <strong>Jordan Raney<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Six members of the team won their first Worlds medal, with Neushul joining her sisters <strong>Kiley Neushul<\/strong> and <strong>Jamie Neushul<\/strong> as World Champions.<\/p>\n<p>Steffens scored the other goal for the U.S., which put them up 4-3 at half after playing catch-up most of the first half. Neushul made it 5-3 after the break, and Musselman and Neushul opened the lead to 7-4 after three quarters. A Neushul goal to start the fourth was all the space that Johnson would need, at an 8-4 lead.<\/p>\n<p>It would get close, with Hungary closing within 8-7. But Musselman buried a penalty shot, the second of the day for the United States, to make it 9-7 and seal the win.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Greta Gurisatti<\/strong> tallied a hat trick for Hungary, and <strong>Rita Keszthelyi<\/strong> added two goals. Hungary was just 3-for-11 on power plays.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe know every time we go into a game with Hungary, we\u2019re going to get their best,\u201d U.S. coach <strong>Adam Krikorian<\/strong> said. \u201cThey\u2019re a very talented and competitive group. We obviously got a great game today. I\u2019d have to say the difference was out defense. Our defense was phenomenal throughout the entire game. I don\u2019t think we were very pretty offensively, but when you play defense like and you block the ball as well as we did, you\u2019re always going to be in the game.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd also just our composure. I can\u2019t speak enough of how unfazed we are in difficult situations and moments. It doesn\u2019t get any more difficult than playing in front of five, six thousand Hungarian fans.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Netherlands defeated Italy, 7-5, for the bronze
