NEW YORK- American athletes continued to excel at the World Championships of Freestyle wrestling in New York City's Madison Square Garden on Saturday, winning nine of 10 matches in session three.    The American women's contingent remained on fire, going 6-0 on Saturday's first session, highlighted by Kristie Marano's pin over world silver medallist Nori Saito of Japan.    "I always have nerves (going into a match), but wrestling with Japan gave me a fright," Marano said.    Trailing 1-0, Marano's three point arm throw coupled with a one-point hold gave her the position to stack up Saito and score the fall at 2:13 into the first period.    Daniel Cormier was the first of the U.S.'s men's contingent to win, topping Ricard Pauliukonis of Lithuania 10-0, getting a three-point lift and throw at the end of the first period.    He was met with a thunderous applause as he banged his chest, flexed and played to the crowd after the dominant victory.    "We have the fans behind us. It felt good that everyone is appreciative," Cormier said.    Marano and Cormier's wins brought the pro-U.S. crowd to one of the loudest volumes heard in Madison Square garden so far in the weekend.    With the six wins by the U.S. women on Saturday morning, their win now stands at 17.    Patricia Miranda and Sara McMann each scored tech falls in the Saturday morning session.    Miranda ousted M. Del Mar Peralta Osuna of Spain 11-0 in 2:58, while McMann got a rousing applause after her dismantling of Kristine Ordina of Latvia with an 11-0 tech fall at 1:38.    "This is my first time out of my pool at the worlds," McMann said.  McMann credited the coaching staff for her improvements.    "She (Ordina) was a longer girl, so I was weary of my high-gut," McMann said.    "I wanted to attack the lower body where she wasn't as powerful."    Kerry McCoy and Joe Williams earned falls in their final pool matches. McCoy cradled up Mahammadov Davud Abdulla of Azerbaijan and was credited with the fall at 2:32.    Williams pinned Venezuela's Jhonny Cedeno at 4:51 in the sessions' final bout.  Tina George and Jenny Wong also finished out Saturday's first session by winning their pools.    George overcame a biting Elvira Rasulova-Mursalova of Kyrgyzstan 10-2.    "I got bit pretty good. I've been bit before, sometimes it happens by accident, but when I realized she was chewing on my arm, I got mad."    Jenny Wong also controlled Teresa Piotrowski of Canada 6-1, scoring four points in a burst of action on two crotch lifts in the first period.    The American women's dominance from one year to the next has a direct reason,   the residency program at the Olympic Training Center in Colorado Springs, Colo.    "In that year (since the OTC opened), we've improved by leaps and bounds," Sally Roberts, who's 3-0 on the weekend, said.    Roberts beat Seba Jimenez Valderrama of Spain 5-0 to win her pool.    Constant battling with coaches and teammates year round has been a huge factor in the improvement of the women's program.    "Our competition is elevated. You can't escape their intensity," Roberts said.    Tricia Saunders, who coached the women to four golds in the Pan Am games in July also thinks this coaching staff has also added a tad more as well.    "Townsend (Saunders) and Terry (Steiner) are a great combination," Tricia Saunders said.    Saunders also found the home crowd exciting.     "This is like nothing I've ever seen. I've never had a cheering crowd (when I wrestled)," Saunders said.    "I see this and hear the chants of USA, USA and I love it. It's a new experience."    Back on the men's side, the only loss was early in the day when Jamill Kelly's hopes of exacting some revenge on Cuba's Serguei Rondon Pedrosa were dashed.  Pedrosa scored at will in par terre and teched Kelly 10-0 at 4:04.    "The goal stays the same, instead of seven, we'll try to get five golds," McCoy said.    The American men's overall record stands at 13-2.
