APTOS, CA. For the uninitiated, the USA Water Polo National Junior Olympics<\/a> resembles a vast, unimaginably intricate maze of teams and games and pools and schedules. But, in a tale as old as fire, when one team unexpectedly succeeds, the path becomes immediately clear: follow the underdog where they lead.<\/p>\n

Such is the tale of the Brooklyn Hustle, a first-time participant at JOs.<\/p>\n

\"jo-logo\"<\/p>\n

Born out of a desire<\/a> by New York City parents to give their daughters a chance to \u201cplay with the girls,\u201d the Hustle are a hybrid of 14U players culled from teams all over the East, including Capital Water Polo<\/a>\u00a0in DC, the\u00a0Makos Polo<\/a> from Manhattan\u00a0and the Brooklyn Water Polo Club<\/a>. Not meshing at first because of their disparate locations and backgrounds, at JOs the squad of Sydney Barta<\/strong>, Bebe<\/strong> and Maggie Currie<\/strong>, Skye Gallagher<\/strong>, Rachel Obora<\/strong>, Genevieve Randazzo<\/strong>, Gigi Sandull<\/strong>, Olivia<\/strong> Smith<\/strong>, Elektra Urbatsch<\/strong> and Julia Wolfson<\/strong> has coalesced under the leadership of Head Coach Gabby Juarez<\/strong> to fashion outsized success.<\/p>\n

Since dropping their Classic tournament opener on Thursday 7-4 to Southern California power Foothill Club Water Polo<\/a>, the girls from Brooklyn have reeled off five straight wins, including an overwhelming 20-11 decision against Northeast rival Chelsea Piers, CT<\/a>, a club that had beaten the Hustle four previous times this year.<\/p>\n

At the Cabrillo College pool on Friday, the Hustle continued their run, beating Modesto-Stanislaus<\/a> 11-1 behind balanced scoring from Maggie Currie, Barta, Sandull and Urbatsch. Next up was the Rose Bowl B squad, representing one of the more storied polo clubs<\/a> in SoCal. Going up 4-0 in the first period on the strength of three goals by Urbatsch, the visitors held on for an 8-5 win. That advanced them to the day\u2019s final match: a play-in game against 680 Drivers B team for the upper-tier of the Classic bracket. A NorCal club that\u2014among other pools\u2014practices locally at Aptos High School, 680<\/a> is one of the Bay Area\u2019s premier programs, having captured the 18U Platinum title in the 2017 JOs.<\/p>\n

For the assorted Brooklyn players and parents (including your correspondent)\u20143,000 miles away from their customary haunts\u2014the three-hour wait between matches was an exercise in anxiety management. Some slept. Some ate or were entertained by an electronic device. Others took advantage of open water and swam. Mostly, they hung around the pool trading tales of how surprising the girls\u2019 success has been, all with a general air of: Wake me up, I must be dreaming.<\/p>\n

The dream lives on.<\/p>\n

With Urbatsch\u2014who along with Barta and Obora has the invaluable experience of having been to JOs before\u2014leading the way, the Hustle jumped out to an early first period lead which grew to 3-1 at the half. A Brooklyn offensive burst in the third made it 6-2 after three periods, then constant defensive pressure and steady netminding by Gallagher shepherded home a convincing 9-3 decision for the visitors.<\/p>\n

With the win, the Hustle advances even further into unknown territory: a morning match against Laguna Beach in San Francisco\u2019s East Bay. No matter the outcome, Cinderella refuses to leave this ball early; the prize of a remarkably successful trip west is simply too enticing.<\/p>\n
