In the opening matchup between the U.S. and Aussie men, Australia was able to fend off Team USA down the stretch for an 8-6 victory.\u00a0<strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.usawaterpolo.org\/sports\/m-senior\/mtt\/luca_cupido_882636.html\" target=\"_blank\">Luca Cupido<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0(Newport Beach, CA\/California\/Newport) scored two goals in the loss while\u00a0<strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.usawaterpolo.org\/sports\/m-senior\/mtt\/merrill_moses_833770.html\" target=\"_blank\">Merrill Moses<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0(Palos Verdes, CA\/Pepperdine\/NYAC) and<strong>\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.usawaterpolo.org\/sports\/m-senior\/mtt\/mcquin_baron_852344.html\" target=\"_blank\">McQuin Baron<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0(North Tustin, CA\/USC\/Regency) combined for nine saves in net.<\/p>\n<p>Helped by a hat trick apiece from <strong>Joel Campbell<\/strong> and <strong>Joe Kayes<\/strong>, the Aussies also leaned on some stingy defense that turned away 11 U.S. power play opportunities. Australia jumped out ahead 2-0 while shutting out the Americans through the first eight minutes of action. That two-goal margin would prove crucial for the visitors, as Team USA was unable to carve down the deficit to more than a single goal. A sizzling skipper from Cupido \u2014 his first of two goals on the day \u2014 tugged the USA to within one at halftime, trailing 3-2.
