2nd
Men's Pan Am Cup
USA
Finishes 7th in Pan Am Cup
The USA started this game on a high tempo, willing to redeem
themselves after their disappointing game against Mexico in
the cross-over game. They scored on their first penalty corner
on a straight shot by Patrick Harris and on the second one a
couple minutes later by Jarred Martin receiving the ball alone
in front the goalkeeper.
Puerto Rico had trouble organizing their defense and USA
scored four more goals before half-time (6-0). The pace and
interest of the game dropped in the second half, with Puerto
Rico seldom crossing the midfield line and USA adding 5 more
goals, mostly on individual efforts and penalty corners.
Final score: 11 - 0, with a hat-trick for Jarred Martin.
FINAL STANDINGS:
