TRIO HELPS U.S. WIN

Former UC Irvine standouts Ryan Bailey and Jeff Powers, as well as former Corona del Mar High star John Mann helped the U.S. men’s water polo team to an 8-5 win over Croatia in front of a sellout crowd at Oaks Christian School in Westlake Village Saturday.

Bailey scored twice. Powers and Mann scored one goal each. Tony Azevedo led the Americans with three goals to help them bounce back from a 6-2 loss to Croatia, the top-ranked team in the world, Thursday at CdM.

The U.S. win will be aired on MSNBC on June 15 at 9 a.m.
