The captain, Hallock led the way with a pair of goals in regulation. Hallock had previously competed in Rio 2016 and Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games.
Bowen scored in the third-place game as well, capping a dominant run in the tournament. The four-time ACWPC First Team All-American with Stanford scored 13 goals across eight games, also competing in his third Olympic Games.
