The USDWNT has not lost a game since officially beginning play in 2005, registering 44 wins and one draw. Forward Emily Spreeman scored a brace in the final to extend her team scoring record to 50 goals in 30 caps."
"Spreeman, the last remaining player from the original 2005 team, announced before the Deaflympics that these would be her final matches with the team. Holly Hunter and Erin Cembrale also scored in the 4-0 win over Japan. The U.S. dominated the tournament again, with 11 different players scoring 35 combined goals; the Americans did not concede a goal in four matches."
