The 12-member squad that will represent the United States has not played together this year.

The squad played 22 matches, won 16 and tied 6.

Quinn said the victory proved that her squad can play with anybody.

The two squads had never previously played each other in a bowl game.

In the previous year (1990) the squad did not play any matches at all.

Every squad played against each other once, determining the final standings.

The women's squad played the first game inside the stadium against Detroit.

Both squads played three games at the new fairgrounds facility.

Team chemistry is a result of the squad's morale and how often the current squad plays together.

The Cubs had high expectations in 2002, but the squad played poorly.
