USA Nets 2 Big Wins In Watermelon Cup
USA (the current college players) met Brazil (players long out of college) in a battle of the unbeatens tonight in Watermelon Cup. Earlier this year, the 2 sides drew.
The younger squad easily outlasted their elders — who were missing several key players — 6-0. USA then found themselves in a huge battle against middle-of-the-pack Somalia, a high school team. The table leaders fought from a 3-1 deficit, eking out a 4-3 victory.
In other action, Chad came through with its 1st win of the summer, while the Netherlands broke a 3rd-place tie with Somalia, thanks to a 5-1 victory.
