- Head Coach Leo Rautins Quotes:
"We did a lot of good things for about 35 minutes vs Argentina," said Leo Rautins, Head Coach of SMNT. "We just have to finish the game. Our defense has to be our staple and I thought for the most part our D was solid. Every pre-world game is an opportunity to improve and come together as a team."
