Preliminary Round
After the preliminary round robin matches were complete, all teams had at least one loss. 5th-seeded Colombia led the standings with their opening game match against the top-seeded U.S. team; Australia dropped to 4th and Japan to 5th.
The last preliminary match - USA versus Poland - on Sunday July 23 was cancelled due to inclement weather (rain). The other four teams played earlier that day and Colombia, Canada and Australia would play later that same day in medal matches. The extra (unplanned) rest for the USA in a condensed schedule format tournament with a short (14-person) roster seemed to benefit the US team going into the gold match.
Medal Matches
USA won the rematch against Colombia 13-7 (7-5 half) to win gold.
Canada won bronze over Australia by the score of 13-11 (7-4 half).
