Kyle Turri played all 80 minutes in net, making six saves, while Zach Oliveri got the day off.

Steve Pontrello (St. Augustine Prep, UNC) scored once for the US.

It faces the Iroquois (1-1) at 1 p.m. local time (6 a.m. EST) in Turku on Tuesday in its final pool play game of the competition. In other “Blue Division” play on Sunday, the Iroquois gave Canada all it could handle before bowing, 11-9. Canada (3-0) plays England (1-2) and the Iroquois play Australia (0-2) on Monday.
