With Australia, on Friday (9/8), the Men's National Team

Australia will be the first opponent of our National Men's Water Polo team for places 5-8 at the Olympic tournament in Paris.

The USA defeated the "kangaroos" team 11-10 on penalties (reg. match 7-7) and sent them on the road to our representative group, on Friday (9/8). The Americans will face Serbia in one of the semifinals (places 1-4).

The Aussies had a chance to win the game in regulation when they took a 7-6 lead through Pavyard (1.53 to go), but it was Bowen who spoke last (32 seconds to go). In the nerve-wracking penalty shoot-out, the Americans were more accurate (4-3) and won the qualification.
