RafaŁ Czyszpak, Head Coach - Team Poland:
It was a very tough game, but I'm very proud of my team. In the second half, they were good in defense, and because of this difference, we came back into the game. At the end of the game, we did some good things on offense, and I'm very happy and proud of my team.
Neta Krumer Langord, Head Coach - Team Israel:
This was a great international experience for us. This is only the third international match our girls have played. I think we played very aggressively; we are still not used to playing aggressively and are making too many fouls. However, Poland is a very talented and deep team with a great coaching staff, so congratulations to Poland. Maybe we will see them again in a couple of days, and that will be a great match.
