The past few days bared witness to the United States beating up on some weaker competition en route to obtaining a perfect record in pool play, winning their pool, and all but ensuring themselves a berth in the World Championship finals.
On Monday, the U.S. posted an 18-2 victory over Scotland....Ned Crotty scored two goals, while Jordan Wolf went 1 [goal] and 3 [assists], and Matt Danowski added an assist.
The Hopkins graduate, Ryan Brown, went crazy again with the ball in his stick, scoring six more times...Tom Scheiber had a more balanced six-point game, scoring three and helping on three...Drew Snider (2 and 1) and Marcus Holman (2 goals, 2 assists) also had multi goal showings.
Yesterday, England was the victim of the onslaught, with the Red, White, and Blue surrendering the first goal, but then responding by scoring the next 13 straight on their way to a 19-2 triumph.
Crotty had his best statistical game of the tournament on Tuesday, scoring two goals and tossing a pair of dimes to complete the four-point outing....Wolf and Danowski did not bury any in the back of the net themselves, but they combined for five assists with the former having two and the latter a trio.
Former Tar Heel, Holman, led all goal scorers with five, and Brown reached 20 goals overall with a four rocket day...Snider had a second consecutive two-goal appearance, and John Haus (Maryland '13) broke out with a hat trick.
The Red, White, and Blue had Wednesday off while they waited for their semifinal opponent to be determined....They now know that they will play Australia, who won 9-6 over the host country, Israel...When the two countries met the first time last Saturday, the Americans dominated to the tune of a 19-1 drubbing.
