Gusterson found herself free on the next possession and, with her back to the net, rifled the ball into the net. Bronwyn Mayer had three goals for Australia, who have lost only one of its six games here. 38 left in overtime. But goalie Isabelle Auger made the save. But Canada held Kazakstan scoreless the rest of the way.
Teams play two three-minute overtime periods when a water polo game is tied and a victory is needed.
It looked like overtime was the last thing Kazakstan was headed for. The young team, whose 23 goals through five games was last at the Sydney Games, had finally found its offense as Yuliya Pyresseva scored three times to build the lead. But that when its defense broke down. While it wasn't the result they hoped for when the week began, the Canadians had fun.
