US Men's Olympic Water Polo Team Downs Top Ranked Croatia 7-5

Saturday August 16, 2008
The US Olympic Team for Men's Water Polo garnered their biggest win thus far of these Olympic Games toppling the number one ranked team in the world in Croatia 7-5 earlier today at the Ying Tung Natatorium. On the heels of a tough loss to Serbia where offense was an issue, the goals came early and often in this one as Team USA improved to 3-1 in Group B play with one crucial remaining against a Germany. Team USA must win or tie Germany in their next game to move on to the quarterfinals.
