USA WOMEN’S U19 WORLD CUP TEAM 2005 RESULTS
TUNIS, TUNISIA • JULY 15-24, 2005
Led by head coach Gail Goestenkors, the USA’s capturing of gold in 2005 marked just the second time the American women have claimed gold in the six U19 World Championships. Crystal Langhorne was named MVP of the 2005 FIBA U19 World Championship. By winning all eight of its games, the U.S. became just the third team to emerge from the U19 World Championship undefeated and the first team to go 8-0. Opening preliminary play July 15 against medal favorite Russia, the U.S. led 31-17 after one quarter and cruised on to a dominating 98-65 vic- tory as Langhorne and Nicky Anosike each tallied 16 points. Congo was no match for the U.S. as the Americans rolled to a 124-37 victory and Candice Wiggins put on a shooting display sinking 7-of-10 3-point shots and finished 28 points. Behind 21 points from Wiggins, 15 more from Erika Arriaran and a 14 point and 12 rebound showing from Anosike, the USA battled past Serbia Montenegro 94-68 on July 17 to improve to 3-0. The US limited Puerto Rico to 22.2 percent shooting and just 28 points for the entire game and recorded a lopsided 116-28 win as Wiggins scored 21 points. Closing out preliminary play against South Korea on July 20, behind 68.4 percent overall shooting from the field the USA offense erupted for a 129-74 win as Langhorne and Erlana Larkins contributed 21 and 18 points. Meeting Hungary on July 22 in the quarterfinals, the US took control midway through the first half and sailed on to an 85-55 victory. Paris led the way for the US with 16 points and eight rebounds. Matched against 6-1 China in the semifinals, the US only led 24-23 after the first quarter, but outscored China 25-10 in the second period to lead 49-33 at half and marched on to a decisive 99-68 win. Langhorne finished with 23 points. Facing Serbia & Montenegro for the second time, this time in the gold medal game, the USA struck quickly and opened a 24-12 first quarter lead. Ahead 56-34 at half, after three quarters the US was up 85-47 before settling for the 97-76 win. Larkins finished with 20 points, Lang- horne added 14 points, while Abby Waner tallied 12 points in the victory.
