(Manchester, England - July 24, 2010)... In his last game, Rochester Knighthawk and Team USA midfielder Chris Schiller scored his first goal Thursday in the semifinals. On Saturday, he reached another international milestone as he won his first gold medal at the 2010 World Lacrosse Championships.

The Penfield native and Team USA defeated the defending champion Canadian team 12-10 in Manchester, England.

Rochester Knighthawks forward John Grant Jr. led Canada with four points (3+1) and Shawn Williams chipped in a single tally en route to silver medal honors. Defenseman Mac Allen and Canadian assistant coach/Knighthawks Hall of Famer Randy Mearns also settled for second place in the tournament.

The United States was led by a three-goal effort from Paul Rabil and Mike Leveille. Brendan Mundorf and Ned Crotty also scored twice as the US won its ninth world championship.

The Americans opened the game with three straight goals before Grant bulled his way to the goal and one-handed a shot past Brian Dougherty. Canada scored two of the next three goals, including Williams' marker to cut the lead to 4-3.

After Canada evened the contest at four in the second quarter, the United States registered the next four goals. Rabil broke a 4-4 tie as he hit the upper left-hand corner and Mundorf hit with five seconds left in the second quarter for an 8-4 halftime lead for Team USA.

Canada, however, battled back in the third, outscoring the US 4-0 to even the game at eight.

Zack Greer then gave Canada its first lead of the day early in the fourth at 9-8. Mundorf answered for the Americans to end a 28-minute scoreless drought to tie the game at nine. But the Canadians were not done and with 10:02 to go, Grant scored off an inside roll for a 10-9 edge.

Duke national champion Ned Crotty wasted little time tying the contest just over one minute later. Then with 5:45 to go, he scored the eventual game-winner by firing a shot while sliding down and going far post past Canada's Chris Sanderson. Leveille iced the game with his third of the game with 1:21 to play, while the US was on a two-man extra-man opportunity.
