USNTDP U-17s fall to Muskegon in USHL playoffs

ANN ARBOR, Mich. - Ryan Hartman (West Dundee, Ill.) and Frankie Vatrano (East Longmeadow, Mass.) each scored for Team USA, but the U.S. National Under-17 Team dropped a 5-2 decision to the Muskegon Lumberjacks in the first round of the United States Hockey League playoffs at the Ann Arbor Ice Cube.

"Despite the outcome, the team played fairly well and created several scoring chances," said Danton Cole, head coach of the U.S. National Under-17 Team. "Overall, we did a lot of things real well and I liked the fact that the team kept going. I'm proud of their effort."

Muskegon took an early 2-0 lead in the opening stanza and then notched a pair of second-period goals to take a 4-0 advantage heading into the third period.

After the Lumberjacks took a 5-0 lead, Ryan Hartman (West Dundee, Ill.) scored at the 6:36 mark of the final stanza. Less then two minutes later, Frankie Vatrano (East Longmeadow, Mass.) tipped in a Joe Fiala (Verona, Wis.) shot from the point to make the score 5-2.

Jared Rutledge (Chicago, Ill.) and Collin Olson (Apple Valley, Minn.) combined for 23 saves in the loss for Team USA, while Joel Vienneau stopped 28 shots in the win for Muskegon.

With tonight's win, Muskegon won the best-of-three series, 2-0, and advanced to the second round of the USHL playoffs.
