ANN ARBOR, Mich. - Jeremy Morin (Auburn, N.Y.) and Jerry D'Amigo (Binghamton, N.Y.) each tallied as the U.S. National Under-18 Team fell to the Marquette Rangers 4-2 here tonight.

At 2:40 in the first period, Marquette took a 1-0 lead after Jimmy Gallagher tipped a shot from Scott Henegar past goaltender Adam Murray (Anchorage, Alaska) for a power-play goal.

In the second stanza, Team USA tied the game at 1-1 on a power-play goal at 0:59 when John Ramage (Chesterfied, Mo.) found an open Morin, who fired a wrist shot into the upper right corner of the net.
