The 2022 USA Team captured its 11th FIBA U18 AmeriCup Championship. Head coach Joni Taylor led the team to the title and an undefeated 6-0 record. The USA opened with an 81-29 win over Colombia in which it dished out 24 assists and blocked seven shots. Kiki Rice (16 points) and Isuneh Brady (17 points) combined for 33 points, while Aalyah Del Rosario led the team on the boards with 11 rebounds. In the second game, the U.S. battled Puerto Rico evenly through the first quarter before jumping ahead mid-way through the second. The Americans finished with the win, 93-38. Five players scored in double figures for the U.S., highlighted by a double-double from Del Rosario (14 points, 12 rebounds). To close group play the USA defeated El Salvador 106-31. The team won on the boards with six players finishing with seven or more re- bounds. Brady finished with 20 points. The quarterfinals marked another wire-to-wire win for the U.S., defeating Mexico, 77-41. Both Cotie McMahon (21 points, 10 rebounds) and Brady (10 points, 11 rebounds) finished with double-doubles. In the semifinals, the Americans converted Brazil’s 23 turnovers into 34 points, helping the team take their fifth win, 84-40. Rice logged 22 points. The team also finished with 17 steals. The matchup with Canada in the gold medal game would show a much closer contest. The U.S. led through the start of the game and took their first double-digit lead (41-31) into the half with the help of an 11-5 run. The U.S. saw their lead dwindle to four at the end of the third quarter, but the team started the fourth with a 19-8 run to take a 15-point lead with five minutes left to play. After a late push from Canada, the U.S. rode their fourth quarter run to an 82-77 victory and their 10th consecutive gold medal.
