International and Olympicsedit
At the fourth FINA Junior World Women's Water Polo Championships in 2001, UCLA freshman Amber Stachowski led the US to a gold medal. Stachowski led the US team with four goals in the 10-9 overtime victory over Australia. Stachowski redshirted during the 2003–2004 season to train with the United States National Team and play in the 2004 Summer Olympics in Athens, Greece. But in 2003, Stachowski sustained a concussion in a motor vehicle accident on a Los Angeles freeway, which kept her out of the water for a few weeks.[2] She recovered and qualified for the Olympic team 6 months later.
After Team USA earned first place in the 2003 Pan American Games and 2003 FINA World Championships,[3] Stachowski scored two goals in the Olympics in games against Russia and Australia, helping win the bronze medal for the United States.
