The USA women's national under-17 basketball team is the women's basketball team, administered by USA Basketball, that represents the United States in international under-17 and under-16 (under age 17 and under age 16) women's basketball competitions, consisting mainly of the FIBA Americas Under-16 Championship for Women and FIBA Under-17 World Championship for Women. These events replaced the USA Basketball Women's Youth Development Festival.

The usual sequence is for the U16 team to play in a regional championship in one year, with the top three qualifying teams being invited to a World Championship in the following year, as the U17 team.[1] The first FIBA Americas U16 Championship For Women was held in 2009.[2] The qualifying teams were invited to the 2010 FIBA U17 World Championship for Women held in France.[3] The events are on a two-year cycle, with U16 events in 2009 and 2011, and the corresponding U17 events in 2010 and 2012.

The U16 team becomes the U17 team, with largely the same players and coaches, although invitations are not automatic and changes can occur.

Semifinals

[edit]

Preliminary round

[edit]

The US faced China in the first game of the preliminary round. The two teams had played each other in a friendly match the week before in France. The US shot poorly, hitting under 30% of their shots in the first half, but defense helped the US team hold China to four points in the opening quarter. China did better ant he second quarter, but was only able to cut the lad to seven points. The offense started working for the US in the third quarter, when the US scored 25 points, and the US went on to win 69–41. Katie Lou Samuelson, who had not played in any of the exhibition games, tied a US U17 record for three-pointers attempted, hitting four of ten attempts. Samuelson led all scorers with 22 points, while Lauren Cox led the team in rebounds with 12.[33][34]

The second opening round game was against France, a team that had beaten the US a week earlier. This time the result was very different.

The US only allowed six points in the first quarter, then improved to allowing only four in the second quarter, and only gave up three in the third period. By then, the outcome was not in doubt, and the US went on to win 78–22. Joyner Holmes had a double-double with 12 points and 11 rebounds.[37][38]

Medal rounds

[edit]

The US faced Canada in the quarter finals. The teams were familiar with each other, as they had played in an exhibition in France a week earlier. The game started slowly, with Canada holding an early 5–3 lead, when Ogunbowale scored seven straight points as part of a 13–0 run to open up a US lead. Samuelson hit back to back three-pointers in the second quarter and the US held a comfortable 41–14 lead at the half. After a strong third quarter, the team from Canada came back and outscored the US in the final period, but by then the game was out of reach. The US won 86–45. Joyner Holmes was the leading scorer with 24 points.[39][40]

In the semi-final game against Hungary, the US team gave up 26 points in the first quarter, but still managed to end the quarter with a six-point lead, largely due to six three-pointers hit by Samuelson, a US Women's U17 record. The second period was lower scoring, with the US scoring 14 to Hungary's 13. In the third and fourth periods, the US extended the lead, ending with a 91–63 win. Samuelson was the leading scorer with 25 points, but Asia Durr led the team with 24 efficiency points, with 14 scoring points, along with three steals, four rebounds and a team leading six assists. Kristine Anigwe recorded a double-double with 14 rebounds and 14 points.[41][42]

In the gold medal game, both the US and Spain entered the game undefeated. The US started well, opening up an early 7–2 lead, but Spain came back strong. The lead changed hands in the first half, with the US holding on to a five-point lead at halftime. The US scored the first six points of the second half to push the lead to double digits, but Spain cut the lead back to just two points at the end of the third period. Spain hit three-pointers in the final period and took the lead; the game was tied at 71 points each late in the game. The US team outscored Spain by just 6–4 over the remaining time to win the game and the gold medal. Spain's Ángela Salvadores scored 40 points for her team and was awarded the tournament MVP honors, but it wasn't quite enough. The US's Lauren Cox scored 20 points, while the team set a US U17 record for blocked shots, with eight. The US's Joyner Holmes and Katie Lou Samuelson were named to the all-tournament team.[43]
