Australia secured a commanding 17-6 victory over Greece in the Women's Division I Water Polo tournament, likely marking Greece’s biggest defeat in years. The Australian team’s dominant 8-1 first quarter set the tone for the match. Despite Greece’s efforts in the middle quarters, they were unable to close the gap, and Australia sealed the win with a strong final quarter.
This result shifts the group standings, with Australia now in second place behind the Stingers and ahead of Hungary, who previously earned a 28-13 win over Japan. As a result, Greece's next match against Japan may have reduced significance, with the Hungary-Australia matchup set to determine final group positions.
Australia, already qualified for the finals as host nation, is using the tournament to prepare for home crowds in Sydney, where 17,000 spectators once celebrated Australia’s Olympic gold 26 years ago. The win over Greece marks a historic result against a top-ranked team heading into 2025.
