Final Score:.......Canada.......1........Australia.......3.....
Attendance was announced as 3486.
Charmaine Hooper had a very quiet game even drawing a Yellow card in the 2nd half for a sliding tackle.
Silvana Burtini did not play.
Australia worked best on the counterattack overwhelming the three man Canadian defense. They have a female Garret Kusch (Cheryl Salisbury) who caused problems.
Their defense played very safely giving up throw-ins whenever things looked dangerous.
The Australians looked better in the last 30 minutes of the game so certainly couldn't be accused of sitting on their lead.
