USA WOMEN’S WORLD CUP TEAM 1990 RESULTS
KUALA LUMPUR, MALAYSIA • JULY 12-22, 1990
The United States, under the direction of Theresa Grentz, continued its domination of women’s international basketball by earning the 1990 World title with an 8-0 record. Five former Olympians were among the USA’s 12-player roster. The U.S. women opened the World Championship facing Senegal and romped to a lopsided 106-36 victory. South Korea fell next, 87-55, and the U.S. finished off its pool play 3-0 after posting a strong 86-59 win over Czechoslovakia. Facing a talented squad from Cuba, which only weeks earlier had defeated the USA twice in a pair of exhibition games in Cuba, the U.S., be- hind veteran Teresa Edwards’ play, overcame a first half deficit and post an 87-78 win. Trailing 47-45 at half, the USA rallied behind relentless full-court pressure that was led by Edwards and Lynette Woodard. The U.S. pressure limited Cuba to 43.2% shooting from the floor and the U.S. was credited with 17 steals, while Edwards and Woodard led the way with five and four steals, respectively. Edwards connected on four of five 3-pointers and finished with 32 points. Against Canada, the U.S. again trailed at the half and again stormed back in the second half. Trailing at intermission 42-41, Edwards, who finished the game with 32 points, went to work in the later 20 minutes to help lead the Americans to the 95-70 victory. Looking to advance to the semifinals with an unblemished record, the U.S. easily disposed of Bulgaria 93-72. In the win, Jennifer Azzi sank three of four 3-point tries and scored a team leading 13 points, while Edwards and Katrina McClain each tossed in 12 points in the win. Facing Czechoslovakia for the second time in seven days, the outcome was almost exactly the same. Playing this time for the right to go on to the gold medal game, the Americans this time earned an 87-59 victory as Edwards and McClain accounted for 23 and 16 points each. The USA then clinched its second consecutive World Championship gold medal after recording an 88-78 win over Yugoslavia. McClain paced the U.S. offensive attack, recording 23 points while grabbing nine rebounds. Edwards added 17 points and Cynthia Cooper tossed in 13 points in the win.
