The US men continued their perfect run in qualifying as they defeated Brazil 16-11 in their fourth match in the intercontinental tournament. Falling behind after eight minutes for once the US rallied for a 6-5 lead at the half and pulled away with a four goal advantage in the fourth quarter for the five point win. Alex Bowen, John Mann, and Luca Cupido all had three goals for the US while Merrill Moses made 13 saves.

The US wraps up play in the group with China on Saturday. China is a woeful 0-4 and has been outscored 74-23 with three losses by 13 or more. They are hosting the World League so they will be a part of it but they don’t seem they will be competitive. The US defeated them 19-7 in qualifying last year.
