Scoring eight tries, the West dominated all aspects of the game coming away with a 55 - 3 victory over their U.S. counterparts.

“They have a very good team,” Falcons Coach Ray Lehner said. “You allow them one missed tackle and they will use that against you every time. However, I really think there was more in us than that.  I don’t think we played very well at all.”
 
Canada West opened the scoring seven minutes into the game when young fly-half Matt Evans kicked a penalty goal to make it 3-0 for Canada West.
 
Six minutes later, Canada West got their first try when Brock Nicholson broke up the left wing. Drawing his man, the winger passed inside to Adam Kleeberger, who raced over the line. Matt Evans added the conversion, to make it 10-0.
 
In the 20th minute, Canada West worked the ball from one touchline to the other from their own 22. Once again Brock Nicholson made the line break and again the captain Kleeberger was there in support.
 
This time the Falcons' defense was better at closing down Kleeberger, but the Canada West support was able to work the ball out to Evans, who touched down near the posts. He converted his own try to make it 17-0.
 
The Falcons's defense continued to hold firm for 15 minutes until Kleeberger was once again able to break the gain line, this time close to a ruck near center. The captain showed his pace as he was able to beat fullback Jone Naqica to score his second.
 
Evans' conversion was charged down and deflected wide; Canada West led 22-0 at the break.
 
Early in the second half, the Falcons were able to get into Canada West's half, where they earned advantage in front of the posts. Knowing he had a free shot, fly-half Zachary Pangelinan dropped a goal to get the Falcons on the board at 22-3.
 
The Falcons did their best to mount a comeback early in this second half, holding the West scoreless for nearly 15 minutes. Needless to say, the U.S. Team couldn’t get the momentum on their side and in the 55th minute, Canada West was back in the Falcon's end when Kleeberger took the ball forward. With the defense collapsing, Canada West was able to move the ball wide where decoy runners let Sam Jenkins cross the line to score behind the posts. Evans' conversion made it 29-3 for the West.
 
“We put a lot into our comeback,” Lehner said later. “The guys were unable to get much offensively out of all that effort and I think that’s when they started to let themselves down.”
 
In the 63rd minute, the Falcons turned the ball over after a scrum near centre. Sam Jenkins pounced on the ball and made it into the 22, where he was able to off-load to Robin MacDowell.
 
Only on the field for a few moments, the replacement scrum-half was on the board with a try. Evans added two more points as the West moved to a 36-3 lead.
 
Four minutes later, the West worked the ball wide once again where Nicholson was able to cross the line again. Evans made the conversion from out wide as the score opened to 43-3.
 
Canada West scored two more tries in the final ten minutes, the first after Sam Jenkins set up a ruck 40 meters out from the line.
 
Evans put in a cross kick to Sean Duke, where the winger was able to race over the line. No conversion, the West led 48-3.
 
In the dying minutes, Ben Grant kicked the ball into the in-goal from the 22, which Nicholson was able to race onto. His second try of the game was converted by Evans; Canada West led 55-3, which was the final score.
 
With three wins from three, Canada West finish top of the heap reading into the semifinals in Colorado. The Falcons move on to 2-1 and in the second position.
