They finally turned the corner in terms of physicality. I thought the forwards gave Australia every chance of winning.

We thought we had a chance coming over here.

I thought [Friday's semifinal] was the big one for us. After winning that, there was no pressure on us. All the pressure was on Freedom. We came out more relaxed and just played our game.

My job is to give my team a chance to win.

I'm really excited, even more excited that we have a great team. We have an amazing chance of winning it all this year.

Sam had an excellent tournament for a freshman. He had a real good chance, at one point, of winning the whole thing. The champ basically walked through the competition except for when he wrestled Sam.
