USA WOMEN’S U19 WORLD CUP TEAM 1993 RESULTS
SEOUL, SOUTH KOREA • AUGUST 1-8, 1993
USA head coach Jim Foster and the 1993 USA Women’s Junior World Championship Team finished seventh overall. The United States opened with a convincing victory over Japan, 85-75, but fell short in its next outing when it was defeated by host South Korea 82-64. Rebecca Lobo led the USA campaign in both contests, posting a stellar 19-point, 19-rebound performance versus Japan and pouring in 16 points against South Korea. Now 1-1 in preliminary pool play, each game took on new importance for the U.S., which rose to the challenge and posted a 91-59 triumph over Bulgaria. Having scored the win over Bulgaria, the United States’ medal hopes depended on a win over Russia to stay alive. After trading leads for most of the game the USA finally secured the upper hand 63-62 at the 3:36 mark and went on the score the crucial victory 73-68. Dana Johnson and Smith tied for top team scoring honors with 15 points each. With the win, the United States improved its record to 3-1 and positioned itself, with South Korea and Russia, in a three-way battle for their pool’s two medal round berths. All three teams had one game of preliminary pool play remaining and USA’s medal round hopes hinged on the outcome of the next day’s games, when the USA faced Zaire and South Korea met Russia. Behind Woosley’s 12 points the USA easily defeated Zaire 64-43, but Russia upset South Korea, 82-68, and the U.S. found itself in a three-way tie for two medal round spots. Under FIBA tie breaking methods which rely on point differential between the tied teams, the U.S. found itself ranked third behind South Korea and Russia and out of medal contention. Reeling from its elimination from the medal hunt, the USA came out on the short end of a one-point 75-74 decision with France. Following the loss to France, the USA rebounded to secure seventh place with a 109-76 victory over Japan.
