Osniel Mergarejo and Miguel Angel Lopez with 15, and Robertlandy Simon with 14 points scored were the best scorers for Cuba. 
TJ Defalco and Kyle Ensing each scored 12 points for the United States.

Yosvany Muñoz Perez, Cuba, head coach: “I am very happy. We came here to fight for the first place, and it happened. 
Our players will now play professionally around the world, and we will reunite in December to prepare for the Olympic Qualifying Tournament.“

John Hawks, USA head coach: “They served really well, as we expected, and I think offensively they were just a little sharper than they were the other night (when USA won in the pool match).  We didn’t pass as well as we did, we lost the serve/pass game….  Our guys are trying to prove ourselves to our senior teams, to be on the roster…. Leaving here with the silver medal is great, but we want gold.  We’re proud of the effort, but in the end we just weren’t sharp enough, so credit to Cuba, they played great.”

In the bronze medal game, Canada beat Mexico 3-0 (25-14, 25-18, 25-12).
Ryan Sclater was the top scorer with 17 points for Canada and Ridl Alexis Garay scored 10 points for Mexico.
