The USA Women snagged a 3-1 lead after the first quarter only to see Australia battle back with two unanswered goals in the second period to tie the match at 3-3 at halftime. The two sides were even in the third quarter scoring three goals apiece to leave the match level at 6-6 going to the fourth. The two sides were tied at 9-9 in the waning moments when Australian captain Rowie Webster connected on a penalty shot with thirty seconds to play to secure the victory.
Team USA was led by three goals from Maggie Steffens (Danville, CA/Stanford/NYAC) and two goals from Kaleigh Gilchrist (Newport Beach, CA/USC/NYAC) alongside 10 saves by Gabby Stone (La Jolla, CA/Stanford/San Diego Shores). The United States went 5/10 on power plays and 0/2 on penalties while Australia was 5/9 on power plays and 3/3 on penalties.
The USA Men took a decisive lead early in their match against Australia jumping out to a 3-0 advantage after the opening eight minutes. Australia came to life in the second quarter outscoring Team USA 4-3 to cut their deficit to 6-4 at halftime. The home team came all the way back in the third quarter with four more goals to tie the game at 8-8 going to the fourth. In the final period the United States clamped down on defense limiting Australia to just one goal while adding two of their own on the way to the one goal victory.
Alex Bowen (Santee, CA/Stanford/NYAC), Johnny Hooper (Los Angeles, CA/California/Olympic Club) and Luca Cupido (Santa Margherita Ligure, Italy/California/Olympic Club) all scored two goals in the victory. Alex Wolf (Huntington Beach, CA/UCLA/Bruin) went the distance in net to secure the win.
