New York (AP) -- It's safe to say that Team USA is officially clutch. For the second straight World Cup, the American squad didn't have one of the top two positions out of the round robin, but it hasn't mattered - they've won the gold. And just like last time, forward Gabriel McAllister came up large, with a first star in the gold medal game and five points (one goal, four assists) on the day.

 

It was McAllister's fourth medal in the World Cup, as he now has two golds, a silver and a bronze, with one more World Cup (S62) likely in the player's future. And don't be surprised if Team USA at least medals in that one too, as the CIA agency has been extremely lucky in the event. In fact, out of the three players the agency has paid attention to, it has won medals in 11 out of 12 World Cups, including 10 straight.

 

Karsten Olsen - Team Scandinavia

S32 - Gold

S34 - Fourth

S37 - Bronze

S40 - Silver

 

Hans Wingate - Team Western Europe

S43 - Gold

S46 - Gold

S48 - Silver

S50 - Silver

 

Gabriel McAllister - Team USA

S54 - Silver

S56 - Bronze

S58 - Gold

S60 - Gold

 

McAllister may not have had the winning of Hans Wingate, but he's had his fair share - he is in fact the agency's only Triple Gold player, with titles at the Saskatoon Wild and Seattle Bears as well. And he's just fine with what he's done.

 

"It feels good to take it home, and we've really gotten a streak going," McAllister said. "Team USA may not have the pedigree of Canada or Europe in this event, but we're carving out a nice niche for ourselves. Next up is the threepeat in two seasons."
