FIRST PERIOD
Goals came fast and furious in the first period, as the teams combined to light the lamp six times. The USNTDP got on the board first with a goal in the opening minute of play, but the Broncos responded shortly after. Chad Hillebrand made a nice move in front of the net to knot the game at 1-1 just over four minutes into the contest.
