The Canadians next fell to the United States, 5-1, on April 2. Closing out pool play, the squad posted a 4-0 win against the host team, Trinidad & Tobago, on April 3. Angus served as the team captain in the contest and later discussed the win.

Finishing Pool B in second place with six points, the Canadians squared off against Uruguay, the third-place team from Pool A, in the quarterfinals on April 5. After a 0-0 score through regulation, the game went to a penalty shoot out where the Canadians won, 5-3. The team next took on Argentina, the winner of Pool A with nine points, on April 7 for the semifinal and fell, 9-0.

In the third place game on April 9, the Canadians were defeated 3-0 by Chile, thus finishing in fourth place in the tournament.
