| USA Shuts Out Japan 27-0 to Extend Unbeaten Streak to 32 games |
| July 5, 2008 |

COQUITLAM, B.C. - Team USA steamrolled their way to a 27-0 shut out victory over Japan at the 2008 ILF U-19 Men's Lacrosse World Championships July 5 at Percy Perry Stadium.
U.S. goalies Adam Ghitelman (University of Virginia) and Tyler Fiorito (McDonogh School) combined for nine saves for a rare shut out. Andrew Feinberg (Brown University) led all U.S. scorers with six goals, followed by Mathew MacRides (Malvern Prep School) and Jack McBride (Princeton University) with five and four goals respectively. Feinberg now leads the tournament with 12 goals (12 goals, 1 assist) in his three games, while teammate Craig Dowd (Georgetown University) leads the tournament with 15 points (10 goals, 5 assists).
It was apparent that the game was going to be a lopsided affair at the half as Team USA took a 17-0 lead into the third period. It was expected that Japan would struggle against the dominating U.S. team but were also dealt a blow before the game when they realized their top scorer, Yohei Nagashima, would have to sit out due to injury.
Japan (0-3) will take on Australia on Sunday, July 6 at 9:30 a.m. at Percy Perry Stadium in their fourth round robin match and will be hopeful to have Nagashima back in the line-up. USA (3-0) will take on Team Canada on Sunday at 4:00 p.m. and put their 32 game winning streak on the line against a very strong Canadian team, coached by Gary Gait.
