Fischer sisters make US water polo roster for Rio Olympics

Sisters Makenzie and Aria Fischer have made the U.S. women's water polo team for the Rio Olympics.

The roster of 13 players was announced at the LA84 Foundation on Thursday in Los Angeles, with attacker Maggie Steffens among four returners looking for a second straight gold medal.

Steffens helped clear the way for the Fischers with her breakout performance in London in 2012, when the first-time Olympian turned 19 just before the games and scored 21 goals to power the U.S. to the title.

Makenzie Fischer turned 19 in March, and Aria is the youngest player on the team at 17.
