PRAGUE - All three Boston University skaters were standouts for the U.S. National Team on Sunday, helping the American squad capture a bronze medal at the IIHF World Championship with a 3-0 victory over host Czech Republic at O2 Arena.

Linemates Nick Bonino and Charlie Coyle each recorded a goal and an assist while Jack Eichel assisted on the other tally, pushing Team USA to just its fourth medal at Worlds since 1962. The U.S. also took home bronze in 1963, 1996 and 2013 during the span. It's the first time a Team USA with more than two Terriers on its roster earned a medal at the tournament.

The young American team exceeded expectations, reaching the semifinal round before falling to a Russian team it had defeated earlier in group play. Canada topped the Russians, 6-1, for its first gold medal in eight years.

In Sunday's triumph in the bronze medal game, Bonino opened the scoring 7:25 into the contest. With 1:47 left in the first, Eichel used a perfect pass to find Trevor Lewis for a tip-in goal at the crease to double the lead. In the final minute of the middle period, Bonino used a cross-slot pass to set up Coyle for a tally and a 3-0 advantage. Bonino was named Team USA's Player of the Game.

Eichel, the youngest American player to make the trip to Europe, finished third on the team in scoring for the tournament with seven points on two goals and five assists. Coyle, who arrived only a week ago after the Minnesota Wild were eliminated in the NHL conference semifinals, tallied five points (3g, 2a) in just five contests while Bonino added four points (2g, 2a).

Former Terrier Joe Sacco was the coach of the 2013 team that won bronze but this year's effort marks the first time a U.S. team won a medal with Terriers on the roster since 2004 when Chris Drury and Mike Grier captured bronze. Before that, the last BU players to medal were Jack Kelley and Dan Crowley in 1949.
