“China is a very good team. We did a good job staying with them in the first game. They really played a smart game during the entire match and that was the key.”

Wang Na, Captain of China

“I think our defense was very good today and led us to the victory against a very good USA team.”

Paula Weishoff, Head Coach of USA

“Game one was very good for us and we played point by point with them. Then they started to play a very fast game and we allowed them to get into their rhythm. Once this happened the game was over. They took the game to a different level and we couldn’t stay with them. It was good match for China.”

Qi Lixia, Head Coach of China

“USA didn’t play as we expected. It is a better team than what they showed today. They seemed to be affected by something.”
