Local water polo standouts Kiley Neushul and Sami Hill seem to find success everywhere they go.
This time, it was in Siberia.
The Dos Pueblos and Santa Barbara Water Polo Club players won a bronze medal last Saturday at the Junior World Women’s Water Polo Championship in Khanty-Mansiyk, Siberia. The Americans faced Hungary in the medal round and Neushul recorded a hat trick while Hill made 10 saves in goal.
In the semifinals, the U.S. lost a double-overtime thriller to The Netherlands which ended in a shootout. Russia won the tournament, which takes place every two years.
