The USA accomplished its goal of finishing with a 7-0 record while capturing the fifth gold medal since the event’s inception in 2010. Coached by Sue Phillips, who served her second women’s U17 assignment and first since 2014, the team made their way through the group phase with ease. Starting with Mali, the team captured the 78-49 victory. Mackenly Randolph scored a team-high 12 points off the bench, leading the U.S. reserves who contrib- uted 48. The U.S. started to establish their dominance in the closing game of group play. The team faced Germany, making for a clash of the two undefeated teams in Group D. USA came out on top, 86-40. The team caused 39 German turnovers while recording a then-tournament-high eight blocks. Juju Watkins would finish with 12 points and 10 rebounds, while Jadyn Donovan had her first double-digit outing (10 points). Heading into the round of 16, the U.S. faced South Korea. The Americans kicked their play into high gear with a 114-29 win. The team had eight players finish in double-figures and dished out a USA U17 team record-tying 35 assists. That same energy carried over to the quarterfinals when the Americans defeated Japan 112-38 to advance to the semifinals. Watkins scored 25 points (10-15 FG, 5-7 3FG) to go along with nine rebounds, two assists and a steal. Jaloni Cambridge had her first breakout performance while logging 15 points (5-7 FG, 2-3 3FG, 3-3 FT), five rebounds and a team-high seven assists. Cambridge led the U.S. in assists in the semifinal and championship as well. The USA came out strong defensively in the semifinals, holding Canada to nine points in the first quarter to take a 27-9 lead. The early lead propelled the team to an 87-57 victory. Randolph (14 points) and Watkins (13 points) led the team in scoring. In the final match, Spain looked like the team to closely compete with the Americans. In the final three minutes of the opening quarter, Spain closed the gap to one possession (15-13) before the U.S. responded with a 9-0 run to end the opening quarter with a 24-13 lead. While the Spaniards fought, the U.S. took home gold with an 84-62 win. Breya Cunningham helped lead the team in the final with her best performance of the week, finishing with 10 points, 10 rebounds (9 OR), a single-game best five steals and one block. The double-double was her second of the week, making her the only player on the team to have multiple through the competition. Cambridge and Watkins received All-Star Five honors following the victory. Watkins also added MVP recognition to her list of honors. France captured the bronze medal with an 84-82 win over Canada.
