After a bye to close out group play, USA Water Polo came out fresh to start their quarterfinal match delivering seven goals in the opening period. Maddie Musselman<\/strong>\u00a0hit on a penalty shot in the first thirty seconds of the period followed by a\u00a0Makenzie<\/strong> Fischer<\/strong>\u00a0counter attack goal less than a minute later for a 2-0 lead. Musselman came back with a power play goal and Williams hit on her first of the day for a 4-0 edge before the halfway point of the quarter.\u00a0Aria Fischer\u00a0was up next, connecting out of two meters for a 5-0 lead. Canada broke through moments later but Steffens\u00a0answered with two goals in the span of a minute for a 7-1 lead, the last coming on a penalty shot score.<\/p>\n

Fischer opened the second with a power play goal followed by a Kaleigh Gilchrist<\/strong> strike that ricocheted off the back of the cage for a 9-1 advantage. Canada scored two of the next three goals to make it 10-3 with under two minutes to go in the first half. Rachel Fattal<\/strong> closed the strong offensive half for Team USA with a goal with just ten seconds to play in the quarter for an 11-3 lead at intermission.<\/p>\n

For all the offense in the first half, things went quiet in the third quarter with no goals scored. Johnson recorded four saves while Clara Vulpisi<\/strong> made three stops for Canada and it was an 11-3 game going to the fourth. Canada tried to get on track in the fourth quarter and opened scoring two of the first three goals for a 12-5 game with 7:05 to play. Team USA didn’t entertain any comeback thoughts as they wouldn’t allow another goal the rest of the way while adding on four more of their own. Stephania Haralalbidis<\/strong>,\u00a0Makenzie Fischer, Williams and\u00a0Aria Fischer\u00a0<\/strong>all found the cage to wrap up the 16-5 victory.<\/p>\n

Team USA went 5\/9 on power plays and 2\/2 on penalty shots while Canada was 3\/6 on power plays with no penalty shots attempted.<\/p>\n
