With less than two minutes remaining, Hooper nailed a power-play goal to give his team a 12-9 lead, making a goal by Inaba with the man advantage one minute later meaningless.<\/p>\n<p>The Japanese jumped out to a quick 2-0 lead, creating anxiety for American fans watching from afar. But back-to-back goals by Obert got the U.S. right back in the match, and the first frame ended up 3-3. In the second the two teams continued to trade goals, with a power-play goal by Bowen being the difference for the Yanks, who led 7-6 at the half.<\/p>\n<p>After Udovicic inserted Wolf (9 saves) in the U.S. cage, the entire team picked up defensively. The Japanese scored only one even-strength goal in the half\u2014a break-away goal by <strong>Keigo Okawa<\/strong>\u2014and three goals with the man advantage. The American\u2019s ability to field block, coupled with strong netminding by the UCLA sophomore, allowed the U.S. to break out to a two-goal lead on a Bowen power-play score with less than a minute remaining. With two seconds remaining,<strong> Inaba<\/strong> converted with the man advantage to narrow the Americans\u2019 lead to 10-9 entering the final period.<\/p>\n<p>The win assures the Americans that\u2014with one final match to be played against China later today\u2014they will finish on top of Group A and be one of two top seeds for the tournament\u2019s knockout round, which will begin tomorrow.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Michael Randazzo, Swimming World Contributor In an extremely taut match yesterday on the other side of the world, the U.S. men\u2019s water polo team pulled away from Japan in<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4875,"featured_media":216383,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":false,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"dois","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[3,12],"tags":[27250,67041,1197,47736,47732,47734,62283,27241,66899,67087,62272,67088,67089,62274,62648,60593,3613],"class_list":["post-304085","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-featured","category-water-polo","tag-alex-bowen","tag-alex-olbert","tag-alex-rodiguez","tag-alex-roelse","tag-alex-wolf","tag-ben-hallock","tag-chancellor-ramirez","tag-dejan-udovicic","tag-hannes-daube","tag-japan-water-polo","tag-johnny-hooper","tag-kenta-araki","tag-kohe-inaba","tag-max-irving","tag-seiya-adachi","tag-u-s-mens-senior-national-team","tag-usa-water-polo"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v24.3 (Yoast SEO v24.3) -
