Team USA cannot be stopped. The American women have gone 4–0 in FIBA World Cup qualifiers after Sunday’s dominant 101–46 victory over New Zealand.
The United States came into Sunday’s matchup having won all three of their matchups so far against Senegal (110–46), Puerto Rico (91–48) and Italy (93–59). As a reminder, the U.S. women have already qualified for the World Cup—which will take place in September in Germany—but are using these preliminary games as a way to improve their chemistry and get to know each other’s playing styles better.
Rhyne Howard shined by scoring six three-pointers on Sunday. She led Team USA with 18 points. Caitlin Clark followed behind with 14 points and six assists. Kiki Iriafen scored nine points and eight rebounds.
Team USA will play Spain on Tuesday at 5 p.m. ET for the final game of the qualifiers.
