The Filipinas had a respectable campaign in their first-ever World Cup appearance, losing to Switzerland and Norway but stunning co-hosts New Zealand in their second match in Group A. Sarina Bolden scored the Philippines' first-ever World Cup goal before the heroics of Olivia McDaniel at the net secured their triumph.

There were plenty of changes elsewhere in the rankings, with Sweden -- the bronze medalists in the Women's World Cup -- taking the top spot for the first time ever. Sweden had dethroned the United States in a thrilling round-of-16 match before claiming bronze over co-hosts Australia.
