Team Wisconsin U14s played tough against their neighbors to the south, but dropped a 4-3 double overtime nailbiter to the Chicago Mission Saturday morning in quarterfinal play in the USA Hockey Nationals held at the Cornerstone in Ashwaubenon.

Mission got on the board first with a goal by Cole Coskey at the 5:16 mark of the first. Six minutes later, Mick Messner tied the game with his third goal of the tournament for TW, with Jordan Steinmetz earning a helper on the play.

The contest remained knotted until just over four minutes into the second until TW's Sam Miller scored to make it 2-1 good guys, with helpers to Messner and Brock Caufield. That's how the second period ended.

Sean Dhooghe scored for the Mission midway through the third to tie the contest at two.

Steinmetz changed that just sixty-six seconds later with his goal, with help from Verstegen to make it 3-2 TW.

With time winding down, Graham Slaggert put the puck in the net for the Mission to tie it at three and there would be an overtime as neither team could score in the waning moments of the third.

The first overtime saw no scoring, but Thomas Altounian ended TW's hopes with his goal midway through the second extra stanza.

(The USA Hockey official scoresheet shows the goal scored 21 seconds into the first OT, but I was informed that was not correct.)

TW was outshot 37-32 in the game, with goalie Adam Larson stopping 33 shots.
