Madison struck first at 16:50 in the first period after a scramble in front of the net sent a bouncing puck in for a goal.

Team USA’s best chance of the period came at the 13:47 mark. Rocco Pelosi (Sewell, N.J.) picked up a runaway puck to launch a cross ice pass to Brayden Willis (Gilbert, Ariz.) who couldn’t beat the goaltender, leaving it 1-0 Madison.

Madison doubled their lead just over ten minutes after their first goal off a quick shot from the face-off circle.

In the final three minutes of the first, Madison capitalized off a turnover on a breakaway to make it 3-0 heading into the second period.

A shot by Madison from the blue line bounced off a player, adding a fourth goal in the Capitols favor at 11:39 in the period.

Madison added a fifth and sixth goal on the powerplay to make it at 6-0 heading into the third period.

Two more goals were added to Madison’s total in the third to make the final score 8-0.
