Ex-Cal star benefits as the Dutch score the game-winning goal with one second left to beat the United States women
Former Cal All-American Kitty Lynn Joustra played 11 minutes without scoring a goal for Netherlands, but she picked up a bronze medal as the Dutch pulled off an amazing late-game comeback and scored the winning goal with one second left to defeat the United States 11-10 in the third-place game in women’s water polo on Saturday.
Now 26 years old, Joustra winds up on the podium this time, thanks to a frantic four-minute surge by the Netherlands. Netherlands got within two when Vivian Sevenich scored with 3:54 left, and Sevenich scored again at the 3:14 mark to get the Dutch within one goal. Sabrina van der Sloot then scored her sixth goal of the game with one second left to give the Netherlands its first lead of the game as well as the victory and a bronze medal.
