Changshu, China - May 30 - The U.S. Olympic Women's Water Polo Team picked up their second straight win at the FINA World League Super Final with an 8-4 win over Greece. Brenda Villa (Commerce, CA/Stanford/Olympic Club) led the way with four goals on offense and Betsey Armstrong (Ann Arbor, MI/Michigan/NYAC) went the distance in net, stopping 11 shots.

Team USA was in control early building a 2-0 lead after the first and a 4-1 lead at halftime. In the third, they kept it up outscoring the Greeks 3-2 to take a 7-3 lead going to the fourth. In the final period the teams were even with a goal apiece to finish with USA in front 8-4. Team USA did the job with almost exclusively natural goals, going 0/1 on power plays and 1/1 on penalty shots. Greece was 3/6 power plays and did not attempt a penalty shot.
