Match One Team Europe 5–1 Team USA
Europe came out firing as Jayson Shaw opened the tournament with a flawless break-and-run. Rookie Moritz Neuhausen followed by edging a tense safety battle against Shane Van Boening to double the lead. Skyler Woodward briefly halted Europe’s charge by punishing Joshua Filler’s push-out, but David Alcaide immediately restored control with a calm, clinical clearance against Tyler Styer.
A missed 9-ball from Billy Thorpe proved costly, allowing Pijus Labutis to push Europe to the hill. When Fedor Gorst scratched in the final rack, Shaw stepped in to clean up and deliver the first point of the 2025 Mosconi Cup.
Match Two
Joshua Filler & David Alcaide 5–3 Fedor Gorst & Shane Van Boening
Team USA struck early, taking a 2–0 lead before Europe’s new doubles pairing settled into rhythm. Filler and Alcaide stormed back to level the match, then Alcaide produced a brilliant 4–9 combo to give Europe their first lead. The Americans answered immediately, but Europe replied with a smooth break-and-run in rack seven.
After the win, Filler said:
“We played our best doubles against Team USA, and starting like this shows how strong Europe really is. Being 2–0 up couldn’t be better. It was close, but we took our chances and handled the pressure. Let’s see what tomorrow brings.”
Match Three
Jayson Shaw 5–2 Skyler Woodward
Shaw set the tone with a superb jump escape to steal the opening rack, then broke and ran for a commanding 2–0 lead. Woodward responded, but Shaw’s precision kept him comfortably ahead at 3–1.
Both players traded push-outs, and Shaw made his count to move within one at 4–1. Woodward pulled another back, yet Shaw remained ice-cold under pressure, closing out the match to give Europe their third point—delivering on his pre-event promise after telling Woodward their matchup would be “easy.”
Match Four
Moritz Neuhausen & Pijus Labutis 5–2 Tyler Styer & Billy Thorpe
Europe’s rookies continued the momentum with an assured 2–0 start. A sharp jump from Labutis was undone by a miss from Neuhausen, giving USA their first rack, but an unforced error from Styer immediately restored Europe’s advantage.
After the Americans fought back again, another miss from Neuhausen seemed to offer USA a lifeline—only for Styer to squander the opportunity with a matching mistake, putting Europe on the hill. Styer then missed a decisive 9-ball in the closing rack, allowing the young European pair to seal the win and complete a dominant 4–0 sweep on opening day.
Reflecting on his debut, Labutis said:
“It gives us confidence, but we’re not relaxed—the job isn’t done. Now we have even more to lose. They played bad today but could be great tomorrow. We have to keep playing as good or better to stay ahead.”
