USA Basketball

[edit]

During the summer, Duke senior guard Tricia Liston won a gold medal with the USA Women's World University Games Team in Russia.

Liston made a key impact on the team in leading them to a 6–0 record, averaging 8.2 points, 3.0 rebounds and 1.0 assists per game. She posted a tied for team best nine three-pointers made, which also tied for fourth most in the tournament. Liston also hit a team-high 42.9 percent from downtown and registered double-figure scoring in each of her first four games.[6]

Sophomore Alexis Jones also won a gold medal with USA Basketball at the 2013 USA U19 World Championships. Team USA (9–0) held France (7–2) to eight points in the second half en route to a 61–28 victory and the USA's fifth-straight FIBA U19 World Championship gold medal. The Championships were held in Klaipėda and Panevėžys, Lithuania.

In the nine games, Jones averaged 10.0 points, 4.3 assists, 3.2 rebounds and 1.7 steals, while collecting her third career gold medal with USA Basketball. Jones started each of the nine contests and her 4.3 assists per game average ranked tied for fourth among all teams.

In the USA U19 record book, Jones dished out 29 assists and is tied with Ariel Massengale (2011) for the top spot in that category. She is also No. 2 in free throw percentage (.933).[7]
