USA WOMEN’S U16 FIBA AMERICAS TEAM 2023 RESULTS
MERIDA, MEXICO • JUNE 13-19, 2023
A gold medal finish at the 2023 FIBA U16 Americas Championship from Jun. 13-19 in Merida, Mexico, marked the USA’s fourth consecutive and seventh total gold medal in the past eight editions of the event. The team started with a 124-39 victory over Puerto Rico. The U.S. employed a full-court press to help establish a 68-18 lead by halftime. Trinity Jones caught fire in the third, registering 13 of her 19 points in the quarter. By the fourth, the Americans were cycling through lineups and adding to their sizable lead. The U.S.’s 124 points was the team’s highest-scoring opener at a Women’s U16 Americas Championship since 2009 (128-17 vs. Dominican Republic). The USA claimed its second win with a 93-29 victory over Colombia. Rebounding was the story of the game for the Americans, who recorded 78 team rebounds. The effort was led by Jerzy Robinson, who closed the night with 21 boards. Both marks set team and player single-game U.S. records at the event. The U.S. laid claim to the top seed in Group A with a 123-27 victory over Mexico. The players took their first double-digit lead, 21-10, in the final minutes of the first frame and were off and running from there. By the end of the first half, the U.S. owned a 71-17 lead and would build on it in the following quarters. Next the team went on to defeat Dominican Republic, 106-34, in the quarterfinals. The U.S. was able to pull away thanks to some strong defense and production from their front court. The team started the second quarter with a 21-0 run, sparked by the team’s activity on the offensive glass. Against Argentina, the USA saw McKenna Woliczko and Lanie Grant lead the way. Woliczko finished with 24 points and 13 rebounds while Grant contributed 20 points and three assists. The team defeated Argentina handily, 112-48, on the way to the gold medal matchup with Canada. The USA led throughout the first quarter, but Canada stayed within striking distance as the Americans took a slight 19-12 lead into the second. The U.S. would go on a 10-0 run early in the second frame and held Canada without a score until the five-minute mark. The USA entered halftime with a firm grip on the game. The team was set on gold and staved off Canada in the second half for the win, 79-59. Robinson, who led the tournament in total points, displayed her knack for putting the ball in the basket throughout the game. She scored 18 of the team’s 41 first-half points and finished with 24 points. Robinson was named MVP of the tournament and was joined on the All-Star Five by Woliczko, Argentina’s Milagros Morell, Puerto Rico’s Desirek Nieves and Canada’s Cearah Parchment.

PUEBLO, MEXICO • JUNE 24-28, 2015
The U.S. women suffered their first loss in U16 history to Brazil in the semifinals of the 2015 FIBA Americas U16 Championship and returned home from Pueblo, Mexico, with the bronze medal after rebounding to down host Mexico in the bronze medal game. Led by Dori Oldaker, the USA opened with an 80-48 win over Argentina on June 24. Alexis Morris finished with 16 points, three steals and three assists; Andra Espinoza-Hunter scored 16 points to go with five rebounds; and Honesty Scott-Grayson added 10 points, seven re- bounds and three assists. The U.S. earned an 86-41 win over Honduras on June 25. Scott-Grayson led with 18 points. Jayda Adams and Sedona Prince had 10 points apiece, while Aquira DeCosta and Valencia Myers each collected eight rebounds. The USA wrapped up its preliminary round play with an 85-44 win over host Mexico that saw the USA win the rebounding battle 70-23, score 50 points in the paint and limit its opponent to just 25.9 percent shooting from the field. Destiny Littleton led with 17 points and seven rebounds; Morris added 15 points and four assists; DeCosta finished with 10 points and 12 rebounds; and Myers scored 10 points. After fighting back from being down by as many as 22 points in the game to pull within six points in the fourth quarter, the USA’s comeback attempt fell short against Brazil, and the U.S. lost 72-63 in the semifinals. The USA got 21 points from Morris. The USA’s effort, however, was not enough to overcome 24 points from Brazil’s Izabela Leite and 20 points from Obalunanma Ugwu. The USA quickly rebounded and in the bronze game, which was a rematch with host Mexico, the USA jumped to an 8-0 lead and never looked back on the way to an 81-24 victory on June 28. Four players reached double-figure scoring, including Williams with 11 points and 12 rebounds, Morris with 11 points and Espinoza-Hunter and Littleton with 10 points each. Additionally, Caldwell had 12 rebounds, while Prince collected 11 boards and Adams dished out six assists. Canada (5-0) won the gold medal with a 72-71 overtime win over Brazil (3-2), which took home silver, and Canada’s Alyssa Jerome was named MVP of the tournament.
