June 28 - Australia 4 - Canada 0
Canada lost to a very strong, heat acclimatized team. We had a strong first half, going down 1 - 0 on a free play goal by the Aussies. We opened play quickly with a penalty corner right off the bat, but could not capitalize, in fact, " we had good chances throughout the game, but unfortunately could not finish the play," stated captain Nicole Colaco. As well, she said "this game sets the rhythm at which we need to play for the whole tournament".
The temperature on the turf was in the high 30's, not favourable for the Canadians.

June 29 - England 4 - Canada 0
Canada lost another hard fought battle 4 - 0 to the English team. Although, after the game Dru Marshall, head coach, stated "this game alone was worth the money it cost to come here". Canada held their own throughout the game but England had more success converting their opportunities. Canada had possession inside the 25 yard line but couldn't penetrate the circle getting only two p.c. in the final 20 minutes of the game. As Marshall stated "England's back field was filled with dead-eyed dicks today".
The heat again was a factor for Canada, hovering around the mid 30's on the turf.

July 2 - South Korea 3 - Canada 2
Goals for South Korea: Lee Eun-Young (6'), Cho Eun-Jung (11'), Kim Myung-Ok (65')
Goals for Canada: Dana Anderson (26'), Veronica Planella (43')

July 3 - Canada 1 - Argentina 0
In a closely matched game, highlites included a stellar world class performance from Sarah Forbes in goal and a penalty stroke by Nicole Colaco.
Canada started quickly again with a penalty corner in the first minute of play, just as Argentina started the second half quickly being awarded a p.c. right of the bat. However, there was no score well into the second half. Then, with a strong offensive attack Canada drew a foul in the circle and was awarded a penalty stroke. Nicole Colaco took the stroke and scored a beautiful goal high to the goalie's stick side.
Canada held off Argentina's tremendous pressure with stellar goaltending from Forbes. The last five minutes included several penalty corners against Forbes and the Canadian defense but the squad came out victorious.

July 5 - Holland 3 - Canada 1
Canada played another excellent game. It was the last game of the day, the last day of the tournament. If Canada won, they would be tied for third place in the 6 nation tournament, a tie would put them in a tie for fifth and a loss would put them in the sixth and final spot. Australia having won earlier gave Holland impetus to beat Canada to sew up second spot.
The Dutch scored first early in the first half but Canada battled back drawing a corner in the 25th minute. The corner was perfectly executed with Lisa Faust taking the first power shot and Sue Armstrong deflecting it home.
Holland scored on two penalty corners in the second half to take the win. Other highlights included Amy MacFarlane's fiesty defensive work drawing an unfortunate yellow card and five minutes in the penalty box. Laurelee Kopeck took a vicious slash on the wrist in an effort to get the tying goal.

Tournament is over! A wonderful experience was had by all! Australia won the tournament and went home with the big $20,000 cheque!! The Canadians are heading home to regroup for Zimbabwe and the World Cup Qualifier.
