After a long layoff\u2014the last time Team USA played a competitive match was July 2017\u2014in the next few weeks the U.S Men’s Senior National Water Polo Team<\/a> will travel down under for a series of matches against Australia, China, Japan, New Zealand, Saudi Arabia and others.<\/p>\n

\"usawp\"<\/p>\n

First up is a pair of exhibition matches against the Australian National Team on March 28 and 30 on Australia’s Sunshine Coast. U.S. Head Coach Dejan Udovicic’s<\/strong> roster for these friendlies includes a few surprises, including four-time Olympian Jesse Smith <\/strong>who has not competed since the 2016 Rio Olympics. Now a robust 34, Smith is an interesting choice for a squad whose average age without him is 21. Udovicic’s roster includes high schoolers Hannes Daube<\/strong>, Quinten Osborne<\/strong> and Dylan Woodhead<\/strong> as well as Ben Stevenson <\/strong>and Johnny Hooper<\/strong>\u2014all of whom played last summer for the U.S. Juniors squad coached by Gavin Arroyo<\/strong>, Udovicic’s assistant in Australia.<\/p>\n

Missing from this squad are Olympians\u2014and one-time USC teammates\u2014McQuin Baron<\/strong> and Thomas Dunston<\/strong>, which is noteworthy because Dunston is still in college while Baron is finishing up his senior year at Southern Cal.<\/p>\n

Both matches in Australia will stream live.<\/p>\n

From Australia, Udovicic and the majority of the squad will travel to Auckland, New Zealand for the FINA Intercontinental Tournament from April 3-8, the first official competition for Team USA since the 2017 FINA World Championships in Budapest, Hungary.<\/p>\n

Stevenson, Osborne, Woodhead and Nic Carniglia<\/strong> will drop off the roster, to be replaced by Olympians Alex Obert<\/strong>, Luca Cupido<\/strong> as well as Max Irving<\/strong> and Chancellor Ramirez<\/strong>. Irving and Ramirez will join Olympian and former Bruin teammate Alex Roelse<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The most noteworthy opening round match of the tournament is a contest against Japan. Not only will the Japanese host the 2020 Olympic Games, they surprised the U.S. last year in Budapest, beating<\/a> the Americans for the first time ever en route to a program best tenth-place finish at FINA Worlds.<\/p>\n

America\u2019s matches at the FINA Intercontinental Tournament will be streamed; Swimming World will provide details when they are available.<\/p>\n

Baron and Dunstan will also miss these matches; the question is; will they be back with Team USA when they\u2019re needed most\u2014for Olympic Qualification matches at the 2019 Pan American Games, July 26 \u2013 August 11 in Lima, Peru.<\/p>\n

If not sooner.<\/p>\n
