On the first day on Friday, the U.S. defeated India, 23-6, to open the tournament then was defeated by host Japan, 19-9 and  China, 15-13.    The U.S. team competed with just six of the seven weight classes filled, after Toccara Montgomery (Cleveland, Ohio/New York AC) did not make weight at 72 kg/158.5 lbs.    "I talked to the women about how things have to change or we will not change as a team," said National Women's Coach Terry Steiner. "There are two things that I see. The first is discipline all the time. It has to be in every area of our lives and all year long. We also need courage, by having the courage to open up and use what we can do. The people who win are from disciplined teams and those that have the courage to open up their technique."    "We have some new challenges ahead of us, and we have to get up on that horse and go," said Steiner. "We have to use our frustration and disappointment in the right direction."    Against Russia, the United States opened with three wins in the lighter weights, then dropped the final three bouts as well as gave up a forfeit at 72 kg.    Winning matches against Russia were Clarissa Chun (Colorado Springs, Colo./Gator WC) at 48 kg/105.5 lbs., 2001 World silver medalist Stephanie Murata (Colorado Springs, Colo./Sunkist Kids) at 51 kg/112.25 lbs. and 2004 Olympian Tela O'Donnell (Colorado Springs, Colo./Dave Schultz WC) at 55 kg/121 lbs.
