The US women advanced to the final of the 2016 Water Polo World League Super Final with a comfortable 11-5 win over China on Saturday. The US was up 3-1 after the first eight minutes and 5-2 at the half. China was still in it at 7-4 going to the fourth quarter but the US pulled away for the six point win. Rachel Fattal, Alys Williams, Makenzie Fischer, and Kami Craig each had two goals in the win while Ashleigh Johnson had 13 saves in the win, her second straight start in the knockout round.

The US will be facing Spain in the final after they defeated Australia 10-8 in a semifinal upset. Spain had only reached six Super Finals over the last nine years and had only made it to one semifinal and had never medaled. They won’t be a pushover for the US by any means, they are the only team to finish within two goals of the US when they lost to them 12-10 in the group stage.
