USA Men 3-1 at World League

Wednesday June 24, 2009

The men are off to a good start in their World League Pool, securing a 3-1 record after beating Italy twice last weekend in four games.

Coach Knipe is sticking with the line up he created in Game 2, but the majority of the second team is getting playing time in each match which should help them out as the tournament continues.

Up next is China who got smoked by the Netherlands 3-0 twice this past weekend. Our men split with the Netherlands in the first weekend of play, so they should also be able to handle the Chinese. It won't hurt that they'll be playing in the U.S. this weekend, hopefully in front of a big home crowd in San Jose, CA.
