LIMA, PERU. Team USA is the big story here because of their out-sized success\u2014their 54 match win streak is the longest in the Olympic era for either men\u2019s or women\u2019s polo\u2014but the excitement of the first day of polo competition was carried by Peru\u2019s Nizerrat Gauthier-Asmat<\/strong>. All of 15 years old and a polo participant for only two years, Gauthier-Asmat tallied the first-ever goal scored by her country in the history of the Pan American games.<\/p>\n

The Peruvians\u2014fielding men\u2019s and women\u2019s water polo teams in the Pan Ams for the first time in history\u2014are perhaps the most endearing storyline here at the Villa Maria del Triunfo Aquatics Complex. Despite a 22-1 drubbing at the hands of the Mexicans, a partisan crowd loudly cheered every positive play by their women.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s our first goal and our opening game and that feels awesome\u2014but it feels awesome because in the water my name is not Nizerrat, my partner\u2019s name is not Miranda\u2014we\u2019re Peru,\u201d Gauthier Asmat said following the match. \u201cWhen my hand was on the ball and it went in the goal: it was Wow! Peru made the goal.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIt feels incredible,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n

Peru and their precocious youngster will get another chance to make history\u2014this time with a win\u2014when they face Canada today in Group B play.<\/p>\n

With a convincing win over Puerto Rico, the defending Pan American Games champion U.S. women\u2019s water polo team continues a winning streak that has reach epic proportions. Stephania Haralabidis<\/strong>\u2014thrust into a role on the 11-person U.S. roster due to Paige Hauschild\u2019s<\/strong> injury\u2014scored six goals on six shots for the victorious Americans.<\/p>\n

After the Americans\u2019 match, Haralabidis, who has emerged as a strong contender to make the final roster for the 2020 Tokyo Olympics, where Team USA will be favored to capture a third-straight goal, spoke about the circumstances<\/a> that had her in the water Sunday at the de Triunfo Aquatics Complex.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn the beginning it was disappointing I was not in the top eleven,” she said following her team’s win. “At the same time when me and Paige switched it was very upsetting because it was not her fault what happened in South Korea.\u201d<\/p>\n

Hauschild\u2019s loss is certainly Haralabidis\u2019 gain; the American women continue to dominate their competition and are overwhelming favorites to win a third-straight Olympic gold. Puerto Rico went scoreless until three minutes left in the third period before Osmarie Quinones Colon<\/strong> finally got her team on the scoreboard. However, Team USA had already scorched the nets 15 times. The tally by Colon and then Milena Guzman Ortiz<\/strong> two minutes later only briefly blunted an American attack that delivered a 23-3 victory, one of a number of lopsided wins on the opening day of men\u2019s and women\u2019s water polo action.<\/p>\n

Joining the U.S. scoring party with three goals apiece were Makenzie Fischer<\/strong>,\u00a0 Jamie Neushul<\/strong> and Alys Williams<\/strong>. For Puerto Rico, Peria Roman Maldonado<\/strong> beat goalie Ashleigh Johnson<\/strong> on a shot with 27 seconds remaining to excite a vocal cheering section of Puerto Rican fans.<\/p>\n

Angel Manuel Muniz Suarez<\/strong> can attest to just how well the American women are playing right now.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou have to play perfect to beat that team,\u201d Muniz Suarez, a long-time assistant to the Puerto Rican program, said after his team\u2019s one-sided loss. \u201cI don\u2019t know if there\u2019s a team in the world that can beat them right now.\u201d<\/p>\n

Puerto Rico will look to rebound against a Venezuela squad that has struggled to find consistent pool time given the deepening economic and political troubles at home. Today they dropped a 15-4 decision to the Brazilians. However, Venezuelan Head Coach Gilberto Caceres<\/strong> was not discouraged by his team\u2019s circumstances or by Sunday\u2019s tournament-opening loss.<\/p>\n

Stating in Spanish that he\u2019s looking forward to the five matches to be played here in Lima, Caceres expressed his gratitude to both the Peruvians as well as the Brazilian water polo association, where his team was able to practice prior to Pan Ams.<\/p>\n

Admitting that preparations for this tournament were disrupted by his country’s problems, he nonetheless believes that his team has a chance to finish in the top five here.<\/p>\n

The Venezuela women look forward to matches against Puerto Rico today and Mexico tomorrow, and their coach believes they will finish well now that they have consistent competition and playing conditions\u2014something that has been recently impossible for his team.<\/p>\n

Next up for the Americans is a match Monday versus Brazil. Two Brazilians know as well as anyone just how difficult a match-up with the Americans present are goalie Victoria <\/strong>Chamorro<\/strong>, a goalie from 2015-2018 for USC, and Viviane Bahia<\/strong>, who spent a season playing at Arizona State. Both were on the squad for the 2016 Rio Olympics that dropped a 13-3 decision to the U.S. in the quarterfinals.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve played against some of them on the international level, some at NCAAs and some of them were my past teammates at USC,\u201d said Chamorro, who has faced or played with every player on the American squad. \u201cIt\u2019s a great opportunity to see where we\u2019re at against the best.\u201d<\/p>\n

Then, perhaps to reinforce a positive approach towards a team that has not lost in more than a year, Chamorro added: \u201cWe\u2019re in the same pool\u2014we all have two arms, two legs and we\u2019re all going to play the same game.\u201d<\/p>\n

Perhaps not. The U.S. has never dropped a match against Brazil in Pan American play; their last encounter was at the 2015 Games in Toronto, when the Americans won 16-3 as part of their run to a fourth straight gold medal.<\/p>\n

In other play, Cuba lost to Canada 20 – 5 as the Canadians got four goals from Indiana graduate Shae Fournier<\/strong>, a hat trick apiece from Emma Wright<\/strong>\u2014a rising senior at Cal Berkeley\u2014and Monica Eggers<\/strong>, a 2013 graduated of Hawai\u2019i , and five saves from Jessica Gaudreault<\/strong>, also a former Hoosier. Next up for Head Coach David Paradelo\u2019s<\/strong> squad is a match today against host Peru.<\/p>\n

Paradelo, who hopes to face the Americans only in the finals, was sanguine about his team\u2019s chances to qualify for the Olympics at this tournament. Team USA is already in by virtue of a win in June at the FINA World League Super Final; baring a titanic upset, whomever else joins them will also be booked for Tokyo.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe go one game at a time\u2014a lot of things can happen in water polo, especially on the women\u2019s side.\u201d he said. \u201cWe know so much about the U.S. that when we get to that game we prepare for [it].\u201d<\/p>\n

Just like everyone else has.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
