Women's national coach Jeff MacLeod:“We still have to work on getting consistent play on the ice in all three thirds. We played well in the second and parts of the third period. We are seeing progress in our team play, but against the top teams in the world you have to be at your best over 60 minutes. Now we are preparing for the quarter-finals and want to use the experience from the last games positively.”
