USA claims 9th World League
USA have won another World League crown after topping Australia 8-7 in the 2015 final in Shanghai, China on Sunday. The win marked the 9th for Team USA and 2nd straight. The course of the game was striking, though. In large part, if not all, USA's dominance in the opening period and 6-2 lead proved decisive as Australia hit back in the second period and fought hard to equalise. The American women however held on at the critical moments to secure a narrow 8-7 victory and clinch another World League title to their team resume. Courtney Mathewson and Kaleigh Gilchrist scored two goals each to lead USA in the win.
The bronze medal was secured by the Netherlands, their best World League result so far, as they defeated hosts China 10-5 on Sunday. Russia finished in 5th place thanks to a 16-8 win over Canada while Italy avoided a last-place classification by rolling past Brazil from the second period onwards for the 11-2 final score.

Italy holds off Russia - Super Final day 2
It was a high-scoring game but Italy held on to beat Russia on day 2 of the women's World League Super Final 14-12 despite remaining scoreless in the final quarter where the Russian women looked for a comeback. Four goals in three quarters for Teresa Frassinetti looked to boost the Italians to a clear victory as they took control in the third period gaining a 14-9 advantage. But Russia came back in the final session where they scored three unanswered goals but could not overcome the deficit as the 2012 European champions held on to win 14-12, their second in group A. And together with Australia who topped China 10-5 in a solid performance for their second straight victory to set up a big meeting with the Italian team on Thursday for the top spot in the group. Meanwhile in group B defending champions USA marched on, this time beating arch rivals Canada 9-3 in convincing fashion to lead the group after two of the three group stage rounds. Netherlands took second place by beating Brazil 13-5. Captain Yasemin Smit led the way on offence scoring three goals for the Dutch who trailed 1-2 at quarter-time but took over from there and never looked back.2015 FINA Women's World League Super Final

Defending champs favourites once again
The women's World League Super Final kicks off on Tuesday in Shanghai, China with defending champions United States in the role of favourites once again. The reigning Olympic champions restored order in last year's edition of the Super Final after China blocked a possible 5th straight World League in 2013 by winning the Super Final that year in Beijing. The following edition however USA once again cruised to victory beating 2012 European champions Italy in the final while Australia took the bronze medal.For the upcoming 2015 edition, already the 5th consecutive Super Final hosted in China, Team USA is considered favourite to add another World League trophy to its impressive cabinet. The Adam Krikorian coached side last week in Kunshan won the 7-nation friendly tournament cup beating the Netherlands in the final 18-9 after the Dutch were defeated 10-3 in the group stage by the Americans, although most coaches were rotating their squad throughout that preperational tournament. Head coach of the main rivals Australia, Gred McFadden labelled the US team as favourite in the Australia Water Polo preview of the event. The rivalry between the Aussie Stingers and the USA has endured over time and has been especially strong over the past twelve months, with the two teams meeting in the gold medal final of two of the past three major FINA tournaments, Australia only managing to come out ahead on one of those occasions.
USA and Australia headline the respective groups in which the opponents from Italy, Russia and the Netherlands can be considered outsiders with the possibility of advancing deep into the tournament as all teams will reach the knockout stage. Here both group winners will face the other group's 4th ranked sides while crossing matches will see the 2nd and other group's 3rd ranked teams face off against each other and vice versa.
