U.S. women's water polo team go home empty-handed after bronze medal loss in Paris

In a matter of days, the U.S. women's water polo team went from the pursuit of a historic gold medal to going home empty-handed.

It was quite a fall.

On Sunday, the U.S. lost 11-10 to the Netherlands on Sabrina van der Sloot's goal in the final second of the bronze-medal game at the Paris Olympics. The U.S. had been the only program to medal in each women's water polo tournament at the Olympics since it started in 2000.
