Anchorage — The Alaska Junior Aces' line of Kenny Hausinger, Lane Bauer and Steven Orizotti was just too much for the San Jose (Calif.) Junior Sharks in a opening-round, U-18 game of the USA Hockey Pacific District Tier I championships at the Subway Sports Centre.

All three skaters delivered four-point games in the Aces' 7-4 win -- Hausinger furnished a hat trick and one assist, Bauer struck for two goals and two assists, and Orizotti provided four helpers. The line struck from three goals in the opening seven-plus minutes, which prompted San Jose to use its timeout. Those early salvos by the Aces proved the difference in the game.

The Aces also received two goals from William Harren, two assists from Tyler Andrews and 20 saves from Owen Carlson.

San Jose's goals were scored by John Godfrey, Trevor Jensen, Igor Leonenko and Joshua Vaughan. Sean Tannenbaum made 30 saves.

In the other U-18 game, Thomas Plese and Joseph Kazupski each bagged hat tricks to spearhead the Los Angeles Junior Kings to a 6-1 win over the Las Vegas Storm.

Plese also added two assists and goaltender Niko Dellamaggiore stopped 14 shots. Taylor Maruya had two assists for the Kings.

Las Vegas' Bradley Robertson made 27 saves and Kenneth Luzak scored the Storm's lone goal.

The winners of the tournament in three divisions -- U-18, U-16 and U-14 -- earn berths in next month's national championships. The tournament continues Friday and Saturday, with championship games set for Sunday.

The Junior Aces and Junior Kings meet Friday in a 4 p.m. game.
