Los Angeles, CA (My Sportsbook) - The USA water polo Olympic teams were named on Monday and veterans such as Brenda Villa and Heather Petri highlight the women's squad, while Tony Azevedo and Ryan Bailey key the men's roster.

The men's and women's teams qualified for the Olympics via gold medal victories at the 2007 Pan American Games.

Villa and Petri are each headed to a third Olympics, and are on the women's team that is ranked No. 1 in the world. The roster includes two-time Olympian Natalie Golda, while the remainder of the team is compiled from 10 first time Olympians.

The women won a silver medal in 2000 and the bronze at the 2004 Athens Games.

"(Since 2004) I think I've gotten better, the reason I came back was I didn't feel like a true Olympian because I knew I could play better," Golda said. "I feel like an Olympian now with this group of girls, we have all the right pieces and it's incredibly exciting now to just be thinking about water polo and our next opponent."

The remainder of the women's team is Betsey Armstrong, Brittany Hayes, Lauren Wenger, Patty Cardenas, Jessica Steffens, Elsie Windes, Alison Gregorka, Moriah van Norman, Kami Craig and Jaime Hipp.

Azevedo and Bailey return for a third Olympics to a men's team that hasn't medaled in water polo since 1988.

The remainder of the 13-member men's team is Merrill Moses, Peter Varellas, Peter Hudnut, Jeff Powers, Adam Wright, Rick Merlo, Layne Beaubien, Tim Hutten, Jesse Smith, JW Krumpholz and Brandon Brooks.
