In their first game, Hudson Belsher threw two touchdown passes to Dylan Ward and one to Xavier Gatin in a 21-9 win over Puerto Rico. One-point converts went to Ward, Gatin and Brinley Deis.
In the second game, Canada played Mexico in a battle of 3-0 teams, and it was a close one at halftime as Canada led 14-13. The Canadians dominated the second half scoring 13 points to win 27-13 to finish in first. Belsher and Deis connected on two touchdown passes with Ward catching the other touchdown pass.
