The United States and Canada were tied in first in the final team standings with 64 points, but the USA won the team title on the second tiebreaker. “The tie with the USA and Canada went to gold medals which was tied again, then went to pins and the USA won,†said U.S. coach Marcie Van Dusen. “We are proud of this team.†Van Dusen, the head coach at Menlo College, and Toccara Montgomery, the head coach at Lindenwood, coached the U.S. team. Both are past Olympians. "This team represented themselves well on and off the mat, they were a pleasure to coach and I expect we will be seeing these women bring back medals from World Championship Teams in the future. I was especially impressed with Rachel Shannon's composure, she is a true competitor, knowing when to turn it up a notch she wrestled smart throughout the tournament," said Van Dusen. "We had a good group of girls who wanted to win, which made our job a lot easier," said Montgomery. Host Brazil placed third with Ecuador fourth in the standings. Ecuador had the most individual champions with three. The U.S. team was developed from those who were medalists at the Body Bar Women’s Junior Nationals in Florida in May.
