USA WOMEN’S AMERICUP TEAM 2025 RESULTS
SANTIAGO, CHILE • JUNE 28-JULY 6, 2025
The United States returned to the top of the podium at the 2025 FIBA Women’s AmeriCup, held June 28–July 6 in Santiago, Chile. Behind a group of collegiate standouts, the USA went 7-0 to secure its fifth AmeriCup gold medal all time. The Americans opened play with a 108-47 win over host Chile, fueled by a 21-0 first-half run. Raegan Beers scored 22 points with seven rebounds, Joyce Edwards added 19 points and Mikayla Blakes chipped in 15. Stifling defense carried the United States past Colombia, 80-43. The USA led 48-19 at halftime, with Blakes scoring 15 points and Olivia Miles nearly posting a triple-double with 11 points, eight assists and eight rebounds. Puerto Rico pushed the Americans in their third game, but a 25-8 third quarter helped secure an 80-62 victory. Miles again flirted with a triple-double (9 points, 7 rebounds, 8 assists), while Gianna Kneepkens scored 14 points on 4-of-5 shooting from 3-point range. The USA clinched the top spot in Group B by defeating Mexico, 104-48. Miles set a USA Basketball FIBA Women’s AmeriCup record with 10 assists, while Kneepkens scored 20 points. In the quarterfinals, the Americans tied their AmeriCup record with 31 team steals en route to a 110-44 win over the Dominican Republic. The team also tallied 32 assists, with six players in double figures. Flau’jae Johnson scored 22 points and Hannah Hidalgo added 17 points, nine assists and five steals. Canada challenged the USA in the semifinals, handing the team its first halftime deficit of the tournament. Hidalgo responded by scoring or assisting on 15 of the USA’s 20 third-quarter points. The Americans held Canada to five fourth-quarter points and advanced, 72-58. The USA also set a program record with 10 blocked shots in the game.

LEON, MEXICO • JULY 1-9, 2023
With a roster of collegiate stars and an average age of 20, the USA Women’s AmeriCup team came home with a silver medal for the second time in history. The U.S. had a 5-2 record and played for a chance to win its third straight gold. In the tournament opener, the U.S. saw 11 of 12 players score to beat Venezuela 80-54, with Rickea Jackson and Angel Reese getting 11 points and Janiah Barker 10. The U.S. also dominated the boards, a trend that was echoed throught the tournament, with a 62-33 advantage. Rayah Johnson grabbed 14 rebounds and Reese nine. The U.S. had a much tougher battle in improving to 2-0 in Group A play, scoring the last nine points for a 65-56 victory over Argentina. Jackson led the way with 17 points and five rebounds, while Lauren Betts came off the bench for 10 points and 11 rebounds, including 10 boards in the second half. Jewel Spear hit three clutch 3-pointers, including a game-sealing trey with 59 seconds left. Reese had 15 rebounds, the second-most in U.S. AmeriCup history, behind Aliyah Boston’s 19 vs. Puerto Rico on June 19, 2021. Following a day off, the U.S. faced an imposing test in Brazil and lost 67-54, snapping the Americans’ 19-game AmeriCup winning streak. Betts, starting her only game of the tournament, had 11 points, 15 rebounds and three blocked shots, while Jackson added 10 points. Betts’ three blocks tied Boston’s AmeriCup record, set June 13, 2021. Betts also matched Reese with the second-best rebounding performance in U.S. history in this event. Facing Cuba to finish group play, the U.S. bounced back in a big way, using a 37-2 run in the first half to roll to a 106-44 victory and clinch second place in Group A. Seven players scored in double figures. Betts continued her impressive play with 17 points, 14 rebounds and another record-tying three blocks. Jackson had 16 points and six rebounds, while Reese contributed 12 points and 14 rebounds. Johnson added 12 rebounds as the U.S. 75-35 advantage on the boards. In the quarterfinals, the inside combo of Betts and Reese fueled the U.S. to a 68-49 victory over Colombia. Betts had her fourth consecutive double-double with 16 points, 14 rebounds and a record four blocked shots, while Reese had 13 points and 18 boards. Betts broke the single-game blocks record she held with Boston. Reese surpassed her’s and Betts’ 15 boards from earlier in the tournament for the second-most in U.S. AmeriCup history. The U.S. had eight blocks in the tournament. Jackson added 15 points. The U.S. clinched a spot in the gold-medal game by scoring the last five points to beat Canada 67-63. Betts had 12 points, four rebounds and another three blocks. Reese posted her third double-double in a row with 10 points and 13 rebounds as well as three blocks. Reese put the U.S. on top to stay 64-63 on a putback with 2:35 remaining. Betts broke the U.S. AmeriCup record for blocks in the tournament with 14, surpassing Boston’s 11 in 2021. Brazil stood in the way of the U.S. winning a third straight gold medal, but the Brazllians proved to be the better team, using a 25-10 run in the third quarter to pull away for a 69-58 victory for their record sixth AmeriCup gold. Jackson, who led the U.S. during the tournament at 14.6 points per game and was named to the All-Star Five, finished with her best scoring output of the AmeriCup, recording 22 points, including 10 in the first quarter. Betts added her fifth double- double with 10 points and 11 rebounds and one block, giving her a U.S.-record 15 in the tournament. Reese had 78 rebounds in the tournament and Betts 76, both surpassing the U.S. record of 60 set by Venus Lacey in the 1989 AmeriCup. They finished second and third among AmeriCup rebounders, averaging 11.1 and 10.9 per game.

USA WOMEN’S AMERICUP TEAM 2019 RESULTS
SAN JUAN, PUERTO RICO • SEPTEMBER 22-29, 2019
It had been 12 years since the USA sent a team to what was previously the FIBA Americas Championship. Despite the gap, the result was the same: the U.S. women again returned home with a perfect record and the gold medal. Coached by Dawn Staley, the USA’s first test of the 2020 FIBA AmeriCup proved no test at all. The taller and much more experienced Amer- icans dominated their way to a 110-31 victory over Paraguay. Eleven of the USA 12 players scored in the romp, with Diamond DeShields leading the way with game-highs of 20 points and eight assists. Recording 31 assists as a team and getting 22 points from Sylvia Fowles, the USA defeated Colombia 88-46. Getting points from all 12 team members, the USA topped Argentina 100-50 behind 16 points from Katie Lou Samuelson and nine assists from Jordin Canada. Behind 19 points from DeShields, the USA closed out preliminary play and clinched the No. 1 seed for Group B after defeating previously unbeaten Brazil 89-73. The USA offense was also aided by Tina Charles, who finished with 15 points and 10 rebounds for the double-double. Led by a defense that limited host Puerto Rico to just 27.0% shooting from the field (20-74 FGs), and owning a 63-34 rebounding advantage, the USA advanced to the gold medal game after a 78-54 semifinal win. Fowles led all scorers with 17 points and 13 rebounds and Charles also posted a double-double with 14 points and 10 rebounds. Struggling with its shooting, the USA turned to its defense and claimed the 2019 FIBA AmeriCup gold medal with a 67-46 victory over pre- viously undefeated Canada. The USA, playing in its first AmeriCup since 2007 when it also won gold, ended Canada’s streak of back-to-back AmeriCup titles with its perfect run. Olympic veterans Charles and Fowles paced the USA with 12 points apiece. The USA, which outscored its six opponents by 38.7 points a game during the tournament, featured three players on the AmeriCup All-Star Five Team - Jordin Canada, DeShields and Fowles, who also was named MVP of the tournament.

USA BASKETBALL HISTORY
USA WOMEN’S AMERICUP TEAM 2007 RESULTS
VALDIVIA, CHILE • SEPTEMBER 26-30, 2007
Guided by Seattle Storm head coach Anne Donovan, the U.S. had one goal in mind: capturing the gold medal to secure a berth in the 2008 Olympics. The goal was achieved with a 5-0 performance that saw the U.S. outscore its opponents by 40.6 points a game. The offense, which was paced by 13.8 points a game apiece from Candace Parker and Tina Thompson, poured in 98.0 points, while the USA’s defense kept its foes to 57.4. Opening against Cuba, the red, white and blue needed all four quarters to put away the islanders 85-79. In what would be the USA’s clos- est contest of the tournament, Parker scored a team-high 21 points, Diana Taurasi contributed 16, while Katie Smith and Thompson each notched 13 points. Sue Bird dished out nine assists. The USA ran out to an 11-0 run against Jamaica and never looked back en route to an eventual 115-47. The performance saw each team member score at least four points. Seimone Augustus’ game-high 19 points (8-8 FGs, 3-3 FTs) led the charge, Thompson followed with 18, Taurasi had 12 and Bird and Kara Lawson chipped in 11 apiece. Putting away Canada early, the U.S. went on to capture an 85-37 victory in its third and final preliminary round game. Thompson’s 14 points led, while DeLisha Milton-Jones and Parker each chipped in 12 points. Meeting Argentina in the medal semifinals, the North Americans romped to a lopsided 104-53 victory. Rebekkah Brunson came off the bench to score a team-high 20 points as the USA catapulted into the gold medal game. Also aiding in the scoring barrage were Parker with 17 points, Augustus had 15 and Katie Smith notched 11 points. A double-double of 15 points and 12 rebounds from Taurasi highlighted five U.S. scorers in double digits as the team completed its mission of qualifying for the 2008 Beijing Olympics by crushing Cuba 101-71 in the gold medal game. Also scoring in double digits in helping the U.S. capture gold were Thompson with a game-high 18 points, Smith scored 15, Lawson checked in to add 14 and Parker tallied 12 points. With the one and only FIBA Americas Olympic berth going to the gold medalist, Argentina, Brazil and Cuba qualified to compete in the 2008 FIBA World Olympic Qualifying Tournament.
