The U.S. women\u2019s water polo team used a second-quarter surge to cruise into the quarterfinals undefeated at the 2016 Rio Olympics.<\/p>\n

A 5-1 scoring edge in the second quarter allowed the U.S. to easily hold off Hungary 11-6 on Saturday in the final game of group play. The U.S., aiming to defend its gold medal, will face Brazil in Monday\u2019s quarterfinals after winning Group B with a 3-0 record.<\/p>\n

With the match tied 3-3 early in the second quarter, the U.S. rattled off four consecutive goals as Maggie Steffens<\/strong>, Maddie Musselman<\/strong> and Kaleigh Gilchrist<\/strong> scored before Musselman found the back of the net again for a 7-3 lead.<\/p>\n

Steffens scored twice in the first quarter and Kiley Neushel<\/strong> added a goal before Hungary tied the match 3-3 early in the second quarter.<\/p>\n

In the second half, Courtney Mathewson<\/strong> scored twice, while Musselman and Steffens each added a goal.<\/p>\n

Ashleigh Johnson<\/strong> was again stellar in goal, allowing single goals in the second and third quarters. She made nine saves.<\/p>\n

Gabrielle Szucs<\/strong> scored twice for Hungary (1-2), which faces Australia in Monday\u2019s quarterfinals.<\/p>\n

Spain 12, China 8<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Spain used a stellar second-half defensive effort to defeat China 12-8 on Saturday.<\/p>\n

Clinging to a 7-6 lead at halftime, Spain outscored China 5-2 in the second half to earn the victory.<\/p>\n

Maica Garcia Godoy<\/strong> scored three goals to lead Spain.<\/p>\n

Spain (2-1) will face Russia in Monday\u2019s quarterfinals, while China (0-3) will face Italy.<\/p>\n

Italy 10, Russia 5<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Looking to remain unbeaten, Italy clung to a 3-2 lead after a quarter against Russia. But the Italians allowed just one goal in each of the final three quarters, while exploding or seven goals in a 10-5 win.<\/p>\n

Arianna Garibotti<\/strong>, Roberta Bianconi<\/strong> and Giulia Emolo<\/strong> each scored twice for the Italians.<\/p>\n

Italy (3-0) will face China in the quarterfinals, while Russia (1-2) will face Spain.<\/p>\n

Australia 10, Brazil 3<\/strong><\/p>\n
