Olympic Men\u2019s Water Polo: Adrian Weinberg Sensational as U.S. Tops Hungary for Bronze<\/strong><\/p>\n

Adrian Weinberg<\/strong> made 16 saves, including one in the shootout, as the United States topped Hungary, 11-8, on Sunday for the bronze medal at the Paris Olympics.<\/p>\n

Weinberg made two saves in the final two minutes of regulation, after Hannes Daube\u2019s<\/strong> goal tied the game at eight.<\/p>\n

In the shootout, Daube scored to give the Americans the edge. Denes Varga\u2019s<\/strong> attempt missed, then Max Irving scored to make it 10-8 and Weinberg responded with a save of Vince Vigvari. Alex Bowen<\/strong> converted his attempt, and Gergo Zalanki<\/strong> hit the post to Weinberg\u2019s right to clinch the U.S. men\u2019s first medal since it fell to Hungary in the gold-medal match at the 2008 Beijing Olympics.<\/p>\n
