BEMIDJI, Minn. - Drew Shore (Denver, Colo.) tallied the lone goal as the U.S. National Under-18 Team dropped a 3-1 decision to Bemidji State University here tonight.

Shore put Team USA ahead just 1:39 into the opening stanza after he picked up Jeremy Morin's (Auburn, N.Y.) rebound and put it past netminder Dan Bakala. Just 59 seconds later, Matt Read notched a power-play goal to knot the score.

Only 19 seconds into the second frame, Tyler Scofield put the Beavers ahead, 2-1, with a shorthanded marker. Jamie MacQueen scored to double the Bemidji State advantage at 11:23.

Maxwell had 26 saves on the night.

The U.S. National Under-18 Team will close out the NCAA portion of the 2008-09 schedule on Saturday night against Bemidji State. Faceoff is set for 7:05 p.m. CT.
