SIOUX CITY, Iowa — Anticipation became reality Sunday when the puck dropped for Game 1 of the best-of-five Clark Cup Final between the USHL's Western Conference champion Sioux City Musketeers and Eastern Conference champion Madison Capitols at Tyson Events Center.

Three different skaters got on the scoresheet with goals as the visiting Capitols claimed a 3-2 win over the Musketeers to take a 1-0 lead in the series. The Musketeers outshot the Capitols 34-19 in the contest, but Madison goaltender Simon Latkoczy made 32 saves to earn the win.

The Madison Capitols held on for a 3-2 win despite a late rally from Sioux City to win the first game in the best-of-five USHL championship series.

Watch the highlights and hear from Sioux City Head Coach Luke Strand, Sioux City forward Dylan James, Madison defenseman Luke Mittelstadt and Madison forward Tyler Haskins in the video recap below.

The full comments from each player/coach are available in the video below. The quest for the Clark Cup continues tomorrow with Game 2 at Tyson Events Center in Sioux City. Puck drop is scheduled for 3:05 p.m.
