Though the U.S. women's team got off to a quick start, they suffered a shocking upset in their semifinal match against the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS).[1] It was their third loss at the U.S. Olympic tournament and, to date, remains their final loss. The U.S. team settled for bronze after defeating Cuba in the Bronze Medal final.[2]
