Team USA Wins Historic Silver Medal, Ryder Dodd Named MVP
UCLA WATER POLO UCLA WATER POLO ZAGREB, Croatia — Freshman Ryder Dodd was named the Best Player at the World Aquatics U20 World Championship after leading Team USA to a second-place finish, the highest finish ever for a USA Men’s National Team in World Championship play at any age group.

ZAGREB, Croatia — Freshman Ryder Dodd was named the Best Player at the World Aquatics U20 World Championship after leading Team USA to a second-place finish, the highest finish ever for a USA Men’s National Team in World Championship play at any age group.
The Americans lost to Spain, 14-11, in the gold medal match. Ryan Ohl scored three goals to lead Team USA in the finals, but the Bruins’ four representatives scored seven of the 11 goals with Dodd scoring twice. UCLA freshman Bode Brinkema and sophomore Ben Liechty also scored a pair of goals in the finals while freshman Peter Castillo scored once.
Team USA battled back from an 0-2 start in Zagreb to reach the final, claiming wins over Montenegro, Iran, Serbia and Hungary. All matches were streamed live and are available on-demand on the World Aquatics YouTube. Live statistics were recorded for every match from MicroPlus Timing Services.
Spain jumped out to a 3-1 lead at the end of the first period. Dodd opened the scoring for the Americans to tie it at 1-1, but Spain answered with two consecutive goals to hold the edge going to the second. Spain looked to keep it rolling in the second quarter as they scored first for a 4-1 lead. That lit a fire under Team USA as their offense mounted a major charge. Castillo hit on a power play strike followed by an Ohl goal and a Dodd score for a tie game at 4-4 with 5:55 to go in the half. Spain stopped the run with a goal moments later but Team USA remain undaunted. They ripped off three more in a row for a six-goal explosion to build a 7-5 lead at the break, with Brinkema, Liechty and Ohl found the back of the net during the run.
Ohl scored in the opening two minutes of the third to extend the lead to three at 8-5, but then it was Spain turning the tables. Spain connected for three in a row and tied the game at 8-8 with play moving to the fourth quarter. The two teams traded goals back and forth in the early stages of the final period. Brinkema hit for a penalty to put Team USA back ahead early at 9-8, but Spain immediately responded to tie the game at 9-9 moments later. A similar scenario followed where Corbin Stanley gave the United States the lead on a power play only to see Spain tie the game at 10-10 with 6:29 to play. Liechty scored for Team USA on their next possession for an 11-10 advantage but unfortunately the offensive well ran dry the rest of the match. Spain scored the equalizer with 4:33 to play and then went ahead for good with 2:28 remaining. They would tack on two more goals as the United States tried to rally, securing the three-goal win.
For the tournament, Dodd led Team USA and finished second overall with 28 goals. He also contributed six assists, nine steals and two field blocks. Brinkema finished second on the team and 38th in the tournament field with 12 goals. He was tied for second overall with 16 sprints won (on 23 attempts) and added a team-high 14 assists to go with four steals and six field blocks. Liechty scored six goals and was second on the team with 11 assists to go with eight steals and one field block. Castillo finished with seven goals, two assists, two steals, and one field block.
Against Hungary in the semifinals, which Team USA won 18-16, the Bruins were at their best, combining to score 12 of the team’s 18 goals, while also contributing eight assists, five field blocks, two steals, and Brinkema winning all four sprints. Dodd scored six goals in the win while Castillo completed his only hat trick of the tournament against the Hungarians. Dodd scored a tournament-high seven goals in the 19-18 shootout win over Serbia in the quarterfinals and he opened the shootout scoring the first goal for Team USA. Liechty and Brinkema followed with penalty conversions as well to keep the Americans in the game. Brinkema contributed his only hat trick (on three shots) in the 16-10 win over Montenegro in pool play while Liechty scored his high of two goals in the finals against Spain.
Redshirt freshman Harry Tucker finished fourth in scoring on Team Australia with 10 goals. He also added six assists, three steals, and a field block for Australia, which finished 10th.

Cooper Flagg, the No. 1 overall pick in the 2025 NBA Draft, is poised to become the first North American athlete to earn $1 billion in contracts. Following a lucrative college career and a rookie contract worth $62.7 million over four years, projections indicate that Flagg could land contracts worth over $70 million and $100 million in his subsequent deals. Given his generational talent, Flagg’s trajectory could see him racking up $930 million in just over a decade. If he meets performance benchmarks for supermax contracts, he stands an excellent chance of breaking the $1 billion barrier in on-court earnings.
By the Numbers
- Flagg’s rookie contract is valued at $62.7 million over four years.
- His potential earnings could total $930 million through his first 14 seasons.
State of Play
- Flagg’s projected second contract could exceed $359 million if he meets supermax criteria.
- His third contract may be worth around $509 million, boosting his total career earnings substantially.
- Other young superstars like Victor Wembanyama also have potential to reach similar earnings.
What’s Next
As Flagg’s career unfolds, his performance and ability to secure lucrative contracts will determine if he can be the first to reach $1 billion in on-court earnings. Continued growth in the NBA’s salary structure may further enhance his opportunities. If he succeeds, other emerging stars may follow a similar path.
Bottom Line
If Flagg fulfills his potential in the NBA, he could redefine the boundaries of athletic earnings, marking a historic milestone in sports contracts and paving the way for future generations of athletes.

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (June 25, 2025) — The U.S. Girls U19 National Team continued its winning ways at the 2025 NORCECA U19 Pan American Cup with a 3-0 (25-21, 25-21, 25-23) win over Mexico on Wednesday in Kingston, Ontario, Canada.
The U.S. (2-0) completes pool play tomorrow, Thursday, June 26, at 1:30 p.m. PT against Puerto Rico (0-2), who dropped a tight five-setter to Venezuela earlier on Wednesday.
For the second match in as many days, the U.S. held a large lead in kills, registering 52 to only 38 for Mexico. The margins were smaller in blocks (5-3) and aces (6-4) but still favored the U.S.
MATCH STATISTICS (PDF)
Outside hitter Ireland Real led all players in both points (19) and kills (17), adding a block and an ace. She was one of four U.S. players in double digits.
“I’m super proud of how we played as a team. It was so much fun just to be out there with those girls,” Real said. “I’m glad we had time to watch film and understand what type of team we were up against. I feel like it really helped. I’m super excited about the rest of the tournament and tomorrow.”
Middle blocker Shayla Rautenberg contributed 13 points for the second match in a row, this time on 11 kills and two blocks.
Opposite Nejari Crooks totaled 12 points on seven kills, one block and a match-high four aces. Outside Olivia Henry recorded 12 kills while sharing the team-high with libero Cala Haffner with eight digs.
Neither team led by more than three points in the first set until the U.S. used a 6-2 run to win the set by four points. A smart play by Real, pushing a ball to the open back court to give the U.S. an 18-17 lead, gave the U.S. its first lead since 6-5.
Real scored off the block for a 20-19 lead and then served an ace for the U.S. Girls U19 team’s first two-point lead. Henry scored the final two points of the set on kills. Real led all players with nine points on eight kills and her one ace.
A Rautenberg block ended a long rally and put the U.S. ahead by five points,14-9, in the second set. The lead was still five at 17-12 when Mexico used an 8-3 streak to even the set at 20 apiece. A kill by Real put the U.S. back ahead and back-to-back aces by Crooks stretched the lead to three points.
Just as she did in the opening set, Henry ended the set on a kill with the U.S. leading 24-21. Rautenberg led the way in the second set with seven points on six kills and a block. Crooks and Real each contributed five points.
A Henry kill put the U.S. up 21-18 in the third set and a tough Rautenberg serve led to a Kyla Williams kill that extended the lead to four points. Mexico, which struggled at the end of each of the first two sets, scored four of the next five points to cut the lead to one, 23-22, on an ace.
Another Williams kill put the U.S. on the brink of winning the set, 24-22. Mexico held off one match point before Crooks emphatically put a ball down to seal the set and match. Crooks led the team with six points on four kills and two aces, while Real added five kills.
