The U.S. mounted a comeback with one in the seventh end and then scored another pair in the eighth end. But Canada tallied twice in the ninth end for the 8-5 final.
鈥淭hose three points in the third end were a little unexpected actually,鈥� Tardi said. 鈥淲e didn鈥檛 really see that coming, but obviously we鈥檙e happy with that start to the game against a good team and how it turned out.
Canada was 7-2 during pool play to qualify for the playoffs.
