QUARTERFINAL: Israel 13, Czech Republic 12

Israel is one of six teams taking part in the WILC for the first time.
Noah Miller’s third goal with just under 10 minutes left that put the Israelis up by two proved to be just enough. The Czech’s rallied from an early 5-0 first-quarter deficit to pull within 8-7 early in the third quarter, but could never take the lead.
?íha Jakub tied it at 10 with five minutes left in the third before Israel scored two straight on a power play goal by Dan Deckelbaum and a shorthanded score from Chad Culp to make it 12-10 with 13 minutes to go. The teams swapped goals, including Miller’s final tally, and Koš?ál Ji?í scored for the Czech Republic, then Israel held on for the final 3:11 to secure the win.
