USA WOMEN’S OLYMPIC AND PRE-OLYMPIC QUALIFYING TEAM 2019 RESULTS
BAHIA BLANCA, ARGENTINA • NOVEMBER 14-17, 2019
The USA Women’s National Team was delayed in arriving in Argentina, and was without coach Dawn Staley due to the timing of the tourna- ment, but that did not stop the squad from rolling up three victories over a four-day span. After starting slow, the USA found its stride one minute into the second quarter and marched on to earn a 76-61 victory over Brazil to open pre-Olympic qualifying play. Sylvia Fowles, who made 10-of-11 shots and secured six rebounds, and Chelsea Gray, who drained 8-of-12 shots including 4-of-5 from 3-point, each accounted for 21 points. The USA was impressive in a 91-34 win over Argentina. Diamond DeShields scored 13 points, Fowles tallied 13 points and seven rebounds, and Nneka Ogwumike had 12 points. The game marked a special homecoming for Diana Taurasi, whose parents immigrated to the United States from Argentina, and the family returned for a year when Taurasi was 13. She last traveled to Argentina to play for the 2000 USA U18 National Team. With a 104-48 win over Colombia, the U.S. finished its FIBA Olympic Pre-Qualifying slate with a 3-0 record. A’ja Wilson led the USA with 23 points and nine rebounds; DeShields, who also grabbed nine rebounds, and Arike Ogunbowale both scored 17 points; and Kelsey Plum finished with 10 points and five assists.
