Match Report:
New Zealand collected a second win for the week and finished seventh with all the front-running against Japan. Japan drew level at 1-1, 6-6, 7-7 and 9-9, but could not take the lead. The first half was interesting from the fact that the Kiwis won the first quarter and Japan the second. Too many soft goals were scored at both ends where defence would have avoided the scoreboard working too hard. The goals came thick and fast in the third as New Zealand regained he advantage and went to the final quarter two ahead. There were some excellent goals, none better than Liana Dance’s backhand goal at centre forward after a high, lobbing pass from Jasmine Myles. Dance has just turned 17 wand was a revelation at the tournament while she and Myles were always in the scoring mix during the week. Dance scored her fourth of the match and 10th goal of the week for 12-10 at 2:41. The winning move came when Nicole Lewis drew a penalty at 1:05 and Miranda Chase, who was the programme and poster cover girl for the event, converted for 13-10 at 1:05. Both teams used their No 13 goalkeepers in the first half and Japan kept Yuko Umeda in for the third quarter before bringing in Rikako Miura for the final eight minutes. New Zealand No 1 Brooke Millar, named to the Tournament Team, made an incredible number of saves during the week.
Flash quotes:
Attila Biro (NZL) — Head Coach
“All together it’s a positive result. We’ve won twice and drawn once against Brazil and that’s great after one and a half years out of international water polo. The game was painful and tough, but I respect the team for stepping up again and again when Japan fought back.”
Liana Dance (NZL) – on playing first international tournament
“It was an honour to represent my country at a senior level. I’ve got a lot of hard work to do before playing at the World Champs. It’s been an amazing experience to play against some of the top teams in the world.”
Hideo Kato (JPN) — Head Coach
“I clearly instructed the players not to stay too close when pressing. They were more afraid of the moment and grabbed. They should have stayed loose or check the course of the opponent. The played did not follow instructions. On extra man we just kept passing without taking a very good shot.” On the tournament, he said: “We still have new players and we have to implement new tactics, different from my predecessor. We are still at the learning stage.”

Match report:
Brazil proved its worthiness of FINA World League Super Final qualification with a 7-4 victory over Kazakhstan in a match where the result was in doubt until the final minute.
Kazakhstan had the better of the opening attacks, converting two extra-man chances through Kamila Zakirova and Anna Turova. Several minutes later Marina Zablith scored from centre forward. Zablith was to score the next goal, but not until one second from halftime, gaining a counter and receiving a near-pinpoint pass from goalkeeper Tess Oliviera to lob the ball over Alexandra Zharkimbayeva’s head. During a frustrating period of scoring inactivity, Brazilian assistant coach Roberto Chiappini was red-carded at 4:03 in the second quarter for constantly talking to the players and standing, when his duties were expected to be more like the silent partner. It was at a time when anything on the scoresheet, except major fouls, was the norm. Qualification for Shanghai was making things tough. By comparison, the start of the second half was less frantic and more about confidence in the ability to score. Darya Roga converted a penalty for Kazakhstan and Izabella Chiappini drew Brazil level with an extra-man shot from deep left. Mirella Coutinho gave Brazil the edge for the first time at 4:28 from the top on extra. Kazakhstan had a chance to equalise but Anastassiya Mirshina had her penalty blocked by Tess Oliviera on the next attack. For the next four minutes teams were scoreless. In the crucial fourth period, it was Chiappini who broke Kazakh hearts with a quick shot off the hand from right-hand catch at 6:40. Then Tess Oliviera did it again, stopping a second penalty attempt, this time by the previously successful Roga. Chiappini scored her third on the next attack and at 2:38 an 6-3 ahead, Brazil was booking its flights for Shanghai. Coutinho (BRA) and Aruzhan Yegemberdiyeva (KAZ) swapped goals either side of the final minute to close out the match.

Pat Oaten (CAN) — Brazil Head Coach
On qualifying for Super Final: “We feel pretty good; happy with the qualification, but the team realises how much work we need to do. Happy with the qualification but we can play much better than we played here.”
Miroslav Trumbic (KAZ) — Head coach
“We missed a lot on attack. When you don’t score, even with two penalties, what happens, happens. Brazil shot better on attack. We didn’t score. At the end you pay. I am a little disappointed as we expected to win and qualify for the finals. How we played today we didn’t deserve to play the finals.”

Match Report:
Canada claimed bronze in a tight match that had China three ahead at the start. However, Canada’s shots were more on target while China hit the wood, had shots blocked or shot high. China shut Canada out of the match in the first 10 minutes and led 3-0 thanks to power shooters Zihan Zhao, Guannan Niu and Donglun Song. Then Canada awoke and for the next 11 minutes it commanded the scoring with Joelle Bekhazi from in front of goal, Stephanie Valin from the top on extra, Bekhazi on penalty, captain Krystina Alogbo from two metres and Emma Wright with a buzzer-beater from deep right. At 5-3, Canada was ready for the bronze medal. China responded through Jing Zhang on penalty, but Emma Wright converted extra-man attack with one second left in the third period for 6-4. The only blot on Canada’s record was Emma Wright’s blocked penalty shot when 3-1 down. China was back in the action in the final period as goals were traded, starting with the prolific Zhao, followed by two Monika Eggens goals either side of a Niu score. Zhao brought it back to 8-7 — one behind — at 3:35. Katrina Monton closed the match with a centre-forward backhand at 1:39 and 9-7. China shot high, Canada’s shot was blocked and China lost the ball, giving Canada the ball and the bronze medal.
Flash quotes:
Johanne Begin (CAN) — Head Coach
“I’m happy with the result for sure, winning with a lot of exclusions — against China — is difficult but we put ourselves in a difficult position. We controlled our emotions in the second half, applied the game plan, and it worked and we won.
Jessica Gaudreault (CAN) — Goalkeeper
“We’re happy with the placing, it’s better than last year. We’re just looking to grow as a team and we’re doing that.”
Rick Azevedo (USA) — China Head Coach
“It was a good game. Today’s the first day we have played our defence and played what we will do for the rest of this summer. We jumped to a 3-0 lead, we had some good opportunities and some wide open shots in front of cage we missed. I was very satisfied and it was well played both ways. Every game we have earned 12-13 exclusions on defence. When we get together with the other half of the team (back in China), we will be a very good team.”

Match report:
United States of America survived a penalty shootout to beat Australia 12-10 after the match was tied at 8-8 by fulltime. The Aussie Stingers rattled USA with a 2-0 start inside two minutes thanks to Hannah Buckling’s score off a cross pass and Nicola Zagame’s centre-forward lob. Courtney Mathewson, who sat out two games because of a dressing-room injury earlier in the week, brought up USA’s first goal on extra-man advantage. It became 3-1 when Holly Lincoln-Smith lobbed at two metres. Then Mel Seidemann and Makenzie Fischer both scored on extra for 3-3 with one minute left in the first quarter. Australian again went to a two-goal margin thanks to a seven-metre lob from Rowie Webster and a backhand shot from outside four metres by Gemma Beadsworth. USA redressed the situation with a Makenzie Fischer penalty strike and Mathewson’s second goal, on extra-man attack, just 14 seconds from halftime. USA proved why it wins so much with a fantastic third period, Mathewson with a blast from seven metres cross cage and Makenzie Fischer scoring in a period of double exclusion for 7-5. Keesja Gofers, who missed a penalty shot late in the previous quarter, lobbed on counter, but Aria Fischer capitalised on an Australian defensive error for 8-6 at 2:36. Webster scored the fourth Australian lob of Carlee Kapana on counter 10 seconds from the final break for 8-7 in USA’s favour. Both teams were shut out in the final period and Australia failed to have a critical shot inside the final minute. It seemed no-one wanted to shoot. USA went to the far end and could not convert. Then the Stingers found some sting when Webster fired in a missile from well outside for the all-important equaliser 10 seconds from full time, for what was to become a penalty shootout. Both teams scored their first shots and then Australia hit the wood twice with USA went four straight after Hannah Buckling netted Australia’s second. USA deservedly won 14-12 on penalties.
Flash quotes:
Adam Krikorian (USA) — Head Coach
“We made some critical defensive stops in the first quarter to keep it close otherwise Australia would have got away. Both teams played without centre forwards for much of the game with Holly (Lincoln-Smith) injured, Gemma (Beadsworth) out on three majors and Kami Craig on two majors. A lot of players were playing out of position. Both teams were tired after six matches. They were not in the best of physical conditions.”
Georgina Kovacs (AUS) — Assistant Coach
“It was a great game of water polo for World League finals. Both teams have similar tactics and depth in the water. We missed some opportunities to get ahead, but we got back at the right moment. Then we were unlucky with our penalty shots. Congratulations to USA on the gold medal.”

España prioriza el Mundial sobre la Superfinal
29/04/2015 - NOTA DE LA RFEN.— Tras la finalización de la Fase de Grupos de la Liga Mundial Femenina en la que la FINA ha resuelto finalmente que España pase como mejor segunda europea a la Superfinal de la Liga Mundial, el Área de Waterpolo RFEN, después de mantener este miércoles una reunión con las jugadoras y el cuerpo técnico, ha decidido renunciar a competir en la Superfinal de Shanghài en el mes de junio.
El motivo de dicha renuncia es que se ha valorado como criterio esencial la preparación de la selección española absoluta femenina -actual campeona del mundo- para los Campeonatos del Mundo de Kazan 2015 y el imprescindible trabajo de base en año preolímpico como soporte técnico esencial de la preparación cara a 2016, con los JJOO de Río en el horizonte como máxima prioridad deportiva del presente ciclo.

Spain takes last Super Final spot
In an incredibly tight finish Spain has secured the last available spot for the World League Super Final in Shanghai, China out of the Europe preliminaries. Thanks to a 12-9 win over Greece in Barcelona on Tuesday the Spanish women are tied in wins recorded with group A 2nd seed Russia, but also tied in goals scored with 76 each in the campaign. However the reigning world and European champions gained more points as one of Russia's victories was on a penalty shoot-out so that Spain joined Italy and the Netherlands in the final tournament in China from 9-14 June. But it proved to be a tough job as Greece hung on well especially in the first half on Tuesday. The difference was made in the third period with two unanswered goals by the home side. Judith Forca and Laura Lopez were the stars of the night scoring 4 goals each for the Spanish side.

Super Final
9-14 June, 2015 in Shanghai, China
L'equip de Miki Oca es juga l'accés a la superfinal
Waterpolo. La selecció espanyola, amb el bloc del CN Sabadell, i el combinat grec, amb les referents de l'Olympiacòs, es tornen a veure les cares tres dies després de la final de l'Eurolliga
Només 72 hores després de la primera ensopegada en més de tres anys, les principals referents del CN Sabadell tindran la primera oportunitat de començar-se a redimir de la derrota en la final de l'Eurolliga femenina contra l'Olympiacòs (10-9). L'escenari i la competició no tenen res a veure, però la selecció espanyola, amb el bloc de la plantilla sabadellenca, i el combinat grec, amb la columna vertebral de l'equip del Pireu, es juguen avui a la piscina de la Nova Escullera del CN Barcelona (20 h) l'accés a la superfinal de la lliga mundial, que es disputa del 9 al 14 de juny a Xangai.
L'equip de Miki Oca i el de Georgios Morfesis arriben a aquest últim partit de la fase classificatòria en idèntica situació. Itàlia i Holanda, com a vencedors de grup amb 15 punts cadascun, ja tenen el bitllet assegurat per a la superfinal. La tercera plaça europea queda reservada per al millor segon, que correspondria a Espanya o Grècia si avui són capaços d'aconseguir els tres punts en joc. Ara per ara estan empatats a 9 punts i si vencen superaran Rússia, que ja ha acabat en segon lloc en el grup d'Itàlia, amb 11 punts.
Miki Oca continua confiant en el bloc que tants èxits ha aconseguit en les últimes grans cites internacionals, on no falten les sabadellenques Maica Garcia, Jennifer Pareja, Laura Ester, Anni Espar, Mati Ortiz i Pili Peña. En les files gregues, destaca la capitana de l'Olympiacòs Trantafyllia Manolioudaki, autora de tres gols en la final de l'Eurolliga, dos dels quals van ser decisius perquè van posar fi a la resistència sabadellenca en els últims minuts de joc. També figuren en l'equip, però, la portera Christina Diamantopoulo, Margarita i Eleftheria Plevritou, Alkisti Avramidou, Alexandra Asimaki i Michaela Kalogerakou.
Miki Oca: "La evolución es muy buena"
28/04/2015 - La victoria de esta noche de España frente a Grecia ha sido la culminación de un gran trabajo colectivo, de un gran despliegue tanto defensivo como ofensivo de nuestras chicas, que han aguantado con el marcador igualado los dos primeros cuartos y luego han sabido dar un paso al frente y desnivelarlo en los dos últimos. El seleccionador Miki Oca nos ha atendido al término del encuentro.
"Estamos muy contentos porque Grecia es un rival muy muy difícil, ya lo demostraron en su casa, donde nos ganaron con cierta holgura. Es por ello que estamos muy muy contentos por el triunfo de hoy, tiene mucho valor. El partido ha estado muy apretado hasta bien entrado el tercer periodo, cuando creo que hemos dado un pasito hacia adelante y hemos podido conseguir un meritorio triunfo final", asegura el entrenador del combinado nacional femenino.
Respecto a la diferencia entre este choque y el disputado en la primera vuelta en Atenas, Oca cree que su equipo ha llegado más hecho esta vez: "No miro al rival ni pienso si rinden más fuera o en casa. Sencillamente creo que nosotras hemos ido probando jugadoras y sistemas de juego y hemos ido madurando y ganando en confianza con el paso de los partidos en la competición. Hoy sin duda se ha plasmado esa mejoría y estoy orgulloso de ellas. Grecias está entre las top mundial y no nos ha puesto las cosas precisamente fáciles".
Valorando la competición, el seleccionador reitera su satisfacción sobre la evolución del equipo, sobre todo de cara a la gran cita de Kazan 2015: "Holanda y Grecia eran dos selecciones de primera talla internacional y el objetivo era ir cogiendo el rodaje con el paso de los partidos, algo que creo hemos terminado consiguiendo. La lectura es positiva, el bloque ha trabajado bien, con muchas ganas, y la ilusión se mantiene intacta"

Victoria de prestigio de España ante Grecia
28/04/2015 - Triunfo de muchos quilates (12—9) de España ante Grecia en un partido muy intenso entre dos de las mejores selecciones del mundo y que no ha defraudado a la numerosa afición desplazada a la Nova Escullera del CN Barcelona. Las chicas de Miki Oca han cuajado un gran tercer periodo, vital para lograr una renta suficiente y mantenerla hasta el final. Finalizan segundas del Grupo B de esta Liga Mundial
Comenzaba golpeando desde un buen comienzo el combinado entrenado por Miki Oca por medio de Laura López, que culminaba la primera acción del partido. Después de unos minutos de tanteo, el equipo heleno lograba un parcial de 0-2 gracias a los tantos de Avramidou y Asimaki, dos de los emblemas de las griegas. Pero la respuesta de las nuestras, comandada por Judith Forca y Jenni Pareja, ha dejado el resultado el término de los primeros ocho minutos en 3-2.
Se ha mantenido la igualdad y la emoción en un segundo cuarto muy animado y que ha contado con un bonito toma y daca entre las primeras espadas de ambas selecciones. Avramidou, que llevaba tres tantos ya al descanso, ha seguido castigando desde el lanzamiento lejano. Por el bando español, Maica García y Laura López, por dos veces (con tres dianas se plantaba también al final de los primeros 16 minutos), marcaban para las nuestras, que se ponían por delante a 13” del final. Pero llegaba in extremis el empate griego, con el que llegaba el duelo al descanso (5-5).
Los terceros ocho minutos no podrían haber empezado mejor para las de Miki Oca, que, con un parcial de 2-0, se colocaban con ventaja de dos tantos por primera vez en todo el choque. Laura López seguía con su recital ofensivo (cuarto gol para ella) y, junto con una también inspirada Judith Forca, colocaban el 8-6 cuando tan solo quedaban ocho minutos por disputarse en una Nova Escullera que presentaba un buen aspecto esta noche para el partidazo que se libraba entre dos selecciones top mundial.
El último periodo ha seguido la estela de los tres anteriores, pero aún con un plus más de intensidad y de goles. Se ponían uno las griegas (8-7) nada más comenzar, pero la tremenda respuesta de las nuestras con el 9-8 en el marcador gracias a un parcial de 2-0 (Pareja y Forca) ponía muy cuesta arriba las cosas para las de Morfesis. A pesar de no bajar los brazos, han visto imposible la remontada y el tanto de Maica García (12-9) sentenciaba definitvamente un gran encuentro del combinado nacional femenino.
CLASIFICACIONES:
Grupo A: Italia, 15p., Rusia, 11p., Hungría, 10 p, Francia, 0 p.
Grupo B: Holanda, 15 p., España, 12 p., Grecia, 9 p., Alemania, 0 p.
*Con este balance, Italia y Holanda pasan como primeras de grupo y se clasifican directamente para la Superfinal. La otra plaza, que la FINA otorga al mejor segundo, queda en empate técnico. El primer criterio que establece el máximo organismo internacional es por el balance de victorias-derrotas, que está empatado entre Rusia y España (4-2). Para desempatar se establece otro criterior, en base a goles marcados por partido disputado, en lo que Rusia y España también están empatadas (76 goles en seis partidos). Al no existir otro criterio, es la FINA quien debe pronunciarse para deshacer el empate.

Hungary, Serbia, Croatia complete Super Final
The men's World League is set for the Super Final in Italy. On Tuesday the preliminary round in Europe was concluded with day 10 of action as the favourite group leaders all secured their spots at the Bergamo tournament late June. It did not came easy though as all three got fierce opposition from the group's runners-up. Hungary managed to held off a late Greece surge in the final period to win 12-11 in the city of Györ despite two late consecutive goals from Konstantinos Gounas. Top scorer for last year's finalists was Norbert Hosnyanszky who scored 3 goals. Serbia hosted Russia in Krusevac and used a 4-1 run in the second period to overcome the up-and-coming Russian side: 11-10. Leading the defending champions on offence were young centre back Nikola Jaksic, Stefan Mitrovic and 2014 world and European player of the year, Filip Filipovic, who scored 2 goals each. Vladislav Timakov and lefty Ivan Nagaev led all scorers with 3 apiece. The third side to confirm its presence in Italy in June is Croatia who remained undefeated in their preliminary campaign by topping Italy in a big match-up in Split on Tuesday. Leading the 2012 Olympic gold medal winning side was left-hander Maro Jokovic (pictured) who exploded for 5 goals. Alex Giorgetti, Massimo Giacoppo and Valentino Gallo scored 2 each for the Super Final hosts who were automatically qualified for the final tournament.
Elsewhere Montenegro secured the 3rd spot in group C by rolling past Turkey in Istanbul, 5-12, while another close match-up between Slovakia and Romania again was won by the Romanians. In Bratislava Romania emerged victorious gaining a second win of the prelims, although this time in regular time: 8-9. Spain also added its second win as they held off Germany once more, in group B. The match in Barcelona on Tuesday ended in a 14-8 victory for the Spaniards.
The World League Super Final will be played from 23-28 June in Bergamo, Italy. The winner of the tournament qualifies for the 2016 Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
