Romania boosted its ranking from 11th in Melbourne with a win from the front. In a relatively quiet game for the referees, Romania maintained the pressure throughout and never allowed Canada a chance to overtake, although CONSTANTIN-BICARI scored for Canada on extra with eight seconds left in the third quarter for 6-5. IOSEP took Romania two ahead at the start of the fourth and this led to victory. Canada advanced from 12th in Melbourne in what has been a good year for the North Americans. Canada came close to a top-four finish but will also be happy to have a top-eight ranking.
