NOTRE DAME, Ind. -- The ninth-ranked University of Notre Dame hockey team built a 3-0 first period lead and went on to post a 5-1 win over the U.S. National Team Development Program (U18) in exhibition action on Sunday night at the Compton Family Ice Arena.
Notre Dame's 3-0 lead came on two goals by Jordan Gross and a Dylan Malmquist tally. Gross' second goal as well as Malmquist's came on the power play.
Logan Cockerill scored for Team USA at 19:13 of the second, but Jack Jenkins answered with a goal just 18 seconds later to make it a 4-1 game after two periods of play.
Jenkins went on to close the scoring at 13:01 of the third period when he notched his second of the night, which also came on the power play.
Cal Petersen finished with 20 saves on the night, while Adam Scheel made 32 saves in the Team USA net.
