My youngest son and I watched the fourth and final game of the USA / Croatia men’s water polo exhibition series last night. Croatia won the first three games, but Team USA finished off the series with a 7-5 win at Long Beach State.

Here are some pictures of the action…

The USA men’s senior national water polo team returned to the Riverside Aquatics Center at Riverside City College last night to host an exhibition game against Croatia.

Since we are a water polo family, we were there.

The last time we watched team USA play in Riverside was back in 2015 when the team took on Serbia. Team USA won that game 9-5.

Unfortunately, team USA lost this game against Croatia 10-12.

The Croatian men’s team is in California for three more exhibition games against team USA:

  • 06/11/17 at Stanford in Palo Alto (Tony Azevedo’s final game)
  • 06/13/17 at Oaks Christian High School in Thousand Oaks
  • 06/14/17 at Long Beach State

Here are some pictures of the action from last night.

Men’s Water Polo: USA vs. Australia at Pomona-Pitzer – 05/20/16

September 5, 2016 by Ole Leave a Comment

A few months before the Rio Olympics, we drove out to Claremont to watch the USA Men’s Senior National Water Polo Team take on Australia at Pomona-Pitzer College.

It was a great game that ended in a shootout. USA put away all of their five-meter shots and McQuin Baron came up with a great save to win the shootout.

Final score:

USA 12
Australia 11

My oldest son got tickets to the USA-Serbia men’s water polo game in Riverside, CA through his water polo club. Since he was going to be sitting with his teammates, I decided to go off on my own and take pictures.

USA won the game 9-5, which brought their record in the four-game series against Serbia to 2-0.
