Austin Staats top scored with four goals as the team that represents the Iroquois Confederacy came out 14-12 winners at the Wingate National Sport Institution in Netanya.

Staats' brother Randy bagged a hat-trick, while Kyle Jackson and Frankie Brown registered braces and Ty Thompson, Hiana Thompson and Brendan Bomberry all chipped in with one goal apiece.

Four of Australia’s goals came courtesy of Nigel Morton with William Pickett and Lachlan Walker scoring two each.

Christopher Robertson, Mitchell Kennedy, Jeffrey Melsopp and Thomas Graham completed their list of scorers.

Trailing 12-7 at the start of the fourth quarter, Australia threatened to bring themselves back into the contest but fell just short in the end. 

The final between the United States and Canada is due to take place at the Netanya Stadium tomorrow.

Canada will be looking to seal the successful defence of their title.
