Day 3- Huron Perth vs. Germany U17 National Team
Germany may be new to this tournament but they’re playing like veterans winning all three of their games so far, outscoring their opponents 10-0 heading into Day 3.
Huron Perth came out with the same physical game they’re known to play which may have caught Germany offguard. However with another slow offensive start by Huron Perth, Germany scored three in the first with one goal from Vincent Hessler and two from Leann Bergmann. At one point Germany was outshooting the Lakers 13-1.
The Lakers found their game & answered back with a shorthanded goal scored by Assistant Captain Evan Metelski- the first goal scored against this strong German team.
The Nationals tried to keep the momentum going and scored two more goals in the second from Assistant Captain Maximillion Adam and Valentin Busch.
