Eiserman followed less than 30 seconds later with a wicked wrister from his off-wing. Cole Hutson (Chicago, Ill.) earned the assist with a quick pass from behind the U.S. cage. 

The U18s made it three in a row with a power-play tally off the stick of Brendan McMorrow (Lakeville, Minn.) with 5:58 remaining in the first. Austin Baker (White Lake, Mich.) sent the puck below the goal line to Kamil Bednarik (Chicago, Ill.), who one-touched it to McMorrow in the slot for a 3-0 lead. 

A pretty give-and-go play with Ziemer and Kristian Epperson (Mequon, Wis.) extended the U.S. lead to four less than a minute into the second frame. Stiga dug the puck out from behind the Team USA cage and fired a sharp pass to Ziemer to start the break. He gave to Epperson and got the puck back for a clean look and 4-0 lead. 

Eiserman made it a multi-goal night near the midway mark of the third. Ziemer won an offensive-zone draw right to Eiserman, who circled the zone and flicked a quick wrister from the center point that bounced off a Utica defender and in. 

Shortly after, Christian Humphreys (Pittsburgh, Pa.) added his name to the goal column after he finished a breakaway with a quick wrist-shot over the glove of Ethan Roberts. Ziemer earned another helper on the 6-0 score.

Eiserman completed the hat-trick, his fourth in 10 games played this season, after he charged down the left wing and deposited his snapshot in the far-side corner.
