Championship Saturday: Australia Dethrones U.S. 14-7 in Gold Medal Game; England Wins Bronze Medal
ANNAPOLIS, Md. — Australia denied the United States its fifth-straight IFWLA World Cup by doubling up the U.S. 14-7 on Saturday afternoon before 6,000 at Navy-Marine Corps Memorial Stadium. Australia won its second World Cup championship, the first since 1986. Both victories have come on American soil, and the trend of the host nation failing to win the Cup in its seven events continued.

No. 3 England won the bronze medal for the third straight time at the World Cup with an 11-8 victory over No. 4 Canada. The first game of the day saw Pool B champ Japan defeat No. 6 Wales 12-8 in the 5th/6th place game. MORE . . .
