U.S. U-19 team beats Australia, perfect in pool play

The United States Under-19 team defeated Australia, 20-7, Tuesday to finish undefeated in pool play at the Federation of International Lacrosse Under-19 Women's World Championship in Hanover, Germany.

The three-time defending champion United States advances to Wednesday's quarterfinals against Scotland with the title game set for Saturday. The United States won the tougher pool, beating Japan, Canada, England and the Haudenosaunee, as well as Australia, which won the past three silver medals after taking the inaugural title in 1995.

Australia, which finished second in the pool, will meet unbeaten Wales in the quarterfinals.

No stats were available from Tuesday's game.
