ANN ARBOR, Mich. - The U.S. National Under-18 Team dropped a 3-0 decision to North American Hockey League defending champion, St. Louis Bandits here today.

In the first period, Team USA poured on the attack, but the Bandits struck first when Clinton Bourbonais tapped Andrew Hamburg's feed past netminder Brandon Maxwell (Winter Park, Fla.) at 4:32.

Tyler Klein made it 2-0 when his wrist shot from the slot found the upper-right corner of the net at 5:47 of the second stanza.

In the final frame, St. Louis netminder Keith Kinkaid turned aside all eight shots he saw and Kyle Quick added a power-play goal with just 26 seconds remaining to ice the 3-0 victory for the Bandits.

Maxwell made 19 saves on the afternoon.

The U.S. National Under-18 Team returns to action Sunday when it will meet St. Louis once again. Game time is set for 3 p.m. ET at the Ann Arbor Ice Cube.
