USA Women Win Fifth Straight Pan American Water Polo Title at 2019 Games in Peru"},"content":{"rendered":"

LIMA, PERU. After a handful of matches against decidedly inferior opponents, the USA women\u2019s water polo team had Canada, a top-ten opponent, opposite them in the gold-medal match of the 2019 Pan American Games, and two players, including starter Rachel Fattal<\/strong>, missing from the line-up.<\/p>\n

\"pan_american_logo.svg\"For any other team, this might have spelled disaster\u2014or at least represented a speed bump in the road to victory. But not for the American women. With Fattal and Alys Williams<\/strong> out with an unspecified illness, Head Coach Adam Krikorian<\/strong> had the luxury of calling on Paige Hauschild<\/strong>, one of the best young players in the world\u2014originally swapped off the roster because of an injury from the balcony collapse in Gwuangju. South Korea.<\/p>\n

Throw in a tremendous amount of pride and drive that has characterized this group over the last four years, and the result was a 24-4 victory over a Canadian team that had just yesterday qualified for the 2020 Olympic Games in Tokyo.<\/p>\n

After the satisfying win, Krikorian took a moment to sum up just how motivated his group of exceptional women have been the past few months.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s been a long summer for us\u2014this is our 22nd game\u2014and they wanted to make sure they finished on a strong note,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Not only did the U.S. win every one of those matches, they’ve now won 59-straight. The win in today’s Pan Am final is the program’s fifth title in a row.<\/p>\n

For a disappointed David Paradelo<\/strong>, head coach of the Canadian women\u2019s team, this loss is but a bump on the path to his program\u2019s long-time prize: a berth at the Olympic Games. It had been 16 years\u2014since 2003\u2014that a women\u2019s water polo team from Canada had earned an Olympic berth. That all changed yesterday when they beat Brazil 19-5 in the Pan Am semifinal\u2014not only advancing to today\u2019s final but qualifying Tokyo because the Americans had previously earned a spot at the FINA World League Super Final last June in Budapest.<\/p>\n

That doesn’t mean that his team is read for what’s to come ten months from now.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was satisfactory yesterday [to qualify for the Olympics]; it\u2019s the beginning of a journey for us,” Paradelo said, “Which starts with a good slap on the face.\u201d<\/p>\n

A seven-goal blitz proves decisive<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Maggie Steffens<\/strong> opened scoring for the Americans with a strike past Canadian goalie Jessica Gaudreault<\/strong> a mere 30 seconds into the match. When she followed two minutes later with another score, it looked like an uphill battle ahead for Paradelo\u2019s squad.<\/p>\n

But, when Emma Wright blasted a 5-meter penalty shot past U.S. goalie Ashleigh Johnson<\/strong> just ten seconds later, it appeared that Canada might keep up with an American side that had won 58-straight matches\u2014including capturing the 2019 World Championship title\u2014the programs third in a row\u2014two weeks ago in Gwuangju.<\/p>\n

[Three-Peat for USA Women at FINA World Water Polo Championships<\/em><\/a>]<\/p>\n

Then\u2014as often happens to USA opponents\u2014a scoring blitz totally overwhelmed the Canadians. First Haushchild scored with her team enjoying the man advantage. Then Melissa Seidemann<\/strong>\u2014along with Steffens, a two-time Olympic gold medalist\u2014freed herself in front of Gaudreault and drilled a shot home.<\/p>\n

Steffens scored again with less than a minute remaining, then Stephanie Haralabidis<\/strong>\u2014who torched opposing goalies for 22 goals on 27 shots here at PanAms\u2014converted a steal and beat Gaudreault on the break just seconds after Steffens\u2019 goal. A pause for between the first and second periods did not stem the U.S. onslaught. Mackenzie Fisher<\/strong>\u2014second to Haralabidis among all goal-scorers at this tournament\u2014buried a shot, followed by a long strike by Maddie Musselman<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

It took a goal by Kindred Paul<\/strong> to stem the American scoring streak, but the damage was done. Canada was down 7-2 and not coming back a clearly fired up opponent. Musselman scored again\u2014she registered three goals on the day and 13 for the tournament\u2014followed by a score by Jamie Neushul<\/strong>. Joelle Bekhazi beat Johnson with three minutes left, and after another score by Fischer, tempers flared from the Canadian side.<\/p>\n

Wright, who plays college ball in America for UC Berkeley, got tangled up with Aria Fischer<\/strong>, Mackenzie\u2019s sister. Perhaps out of frustration for the beating her teams was suffering\u2014or maybe because water polo is just that physical\u2014Wright threw a punch, was whistled for a brutality and got an early exit from the game.<\/p>\n

A 13-3 deficit at intermission got worse after the half as the Americans dumped 10 goals on their opponent in the third period before easing off the gas in the fourth.<\/p>\n

Where do we go from here?<\/h3>\n

Team USA goes into an extended break as the best women\u2019s team on the planet\u2014and after a month off, Krikorian will gather his full roster, and the battle begins for the 11 (or 12) spots that are allowed for the Olympics.<\/p>\n

Canada will do the same\u2014perhaps chastened that qualifying for the Olympics doesn\u2019t mean they\u2019re quite ready to compete with world\u2019s best. But, they\u2019ve got almost a full year to change that. Let\u2019s hope they spend it wisely, because Team USA will.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
