Go US Women's Water Polo!!!

Thursday, August 21, 2008

Well, we're definitely cheering for the U.S. men's team too since both teams are vying for the gold medal in their final matches this week, but we at phix are a bit partial to the women's team, as we got to know them a little bit a few months ago in California. Phix had the pleasure of sponsoring an exhibition women's water polo match at Stanford between longtime rivals team U.S.A. and Australia. Team USA came away with the win there, but what an exciting match it was!

Yesterday (maybe 2 days ago, but the time zone difference of Beijing is a bit confusing), our team U.S.A. friends faced off with Australia yet again, and this time it was in the semifinals in Beijing. It was an incredibly intense match, and both teams definitely left all their energy in the pool, but our U.S. women came away with victory thanks to a clutch goal with just one minute remaining by team captain Brenda Villa (making a nice hat trick (3 goals total) for the day for Brenda!).

I am continually amazed by the level of fitness water polo requires and what incredible shape all the women are in, but if anyone can bring home the Gold medal, it's team USA! Phix is cheering on our women's team USA from afar today as they face off with the Netherlands in the gold medal round! Go team!!!
