Thoughts from Head Coach David Passmore: “I am super proud of every one of the squad members, including those at home, because these types of performance come from hard work and pushing each other especially in our defending. While Argentina dominated for periods our composure in defense and penalty corner defense was on point today and that is fifty percent of the game. We had two starting defenders on less than twenty caps yet played with real maturity. We still threatened in attack but need a little more composure and connection in defense. We are in the tournament, but this stands for nothing if we don’t get a good result next up.”
