Alexa Tielmann of Abbotsford helped Canada's U19 girls water polo team to a silver medal at the Pan American Junior Water Polo Championships in Montreal.
The Canadians came into the final undefeated, but dropped a 7-6 decision to the United States, with Tielmann scoring one goal in the losing effort. During the round robin portion of the tournament, Canada had defeated the U.S. 8-7, with Tielmann scoring a hat trick, including the game-winner.
Tielmann, a Yale Secondary grad, embarks on her NCAA career this fall at UCLA.
