Match 1: USA 2, Canada 3

The first game was an even affair with the USA's northern neighbors prevailing in a well-played match. In the opening quarter, USA was on their heels as Canada tallied a field goal with 4:51 remaining on the clock. In the second, back-to-back penalty corners for Canada were unsuccessful has Christian DeAngelis (Doylestown, Pa.) and Zaid Hassan (Santa Clara, Calif.) limited the chances respectively. The U-19 USMNT evened the game at the 9:15 minute mark when Wander Hommes (Westlake Village, Calif.) laid the ball off to Alberto Montilla (Allen, Texas) who one-time backhanded it into the bottom left corner. With just 2:30 left before half, Canada regained the lead making it 2-1.

To open the third quarter, Canada added another score at the 6-minute mark. USA responded with three penalty corners, but although the first two attempts failed, Garry Singh (Corona, Calif.) converted on a well-executed drag-flick to cut the goal margin. Heading into the final quarter with the score USA 2, Canada 3, the U-19 USMNT needed to dig deep to find the equalizer. Many circle penetrations and scoring opportunities were present, including a penalty corner chance but nothing was produced. As USA continued to fight, they were awarded a penalty corner with 5 seconds remaining in regulation. G. Singh ripped a fantastic shot but it was denied by a quick defensive tip.

Match 2: USA 2, Canada 1

A beautiful 75-degree weather day was the backdrop of the second match between the U-19 USMNT and Canada's U-18 Men's Team. USA showed an increased level of intensity from the start compared to the first match-up. Each team earned a penalty corner in the first quarter but were unable to convert. A shift of momentum came in the second as USA took an early lead off a field goal from Montilla just 30 second in. The U-19 USMNT extended the lead soon after when Jack Gallucci (Trubell, Conn.) fed a ball to DeAngelis, who scored on a deflection that went up and over Canada's goalkeeper. Canada was able to tally one back at the 6-minute mark off a drag flick. A close follow up chance came for Canada to notch the equalizer with two minutes remaining in the half, but Hassan made the save off the goal line. The halftime score stood at USA 2, Canada 1.

The third quarter was a stalemate as Canada earned two penalty corners but did not effectively execute. The game went back and forth in the final quarter as Canada continued to push hard searching for the equalizer. USA was able to withstand the pressure and secure the 2-1 win. This is the first time the Junior U.S. Men's National Team has defeated the Canada Juniors in more than ten years.
