Lewis scored eight points in the final 37 seconds before the break to push the U.S. lead to more than 20 points for the first time at 48-27 at halftime. Mosqueda-Lewis also would score the first basket of the third quarter to register a 10-0 run on her own. Czech Republic
would never get closer than 21 points after the halftime intermission as the U.S. lead continued to expand to as many as 42 points at 101-59 after Massengale hit a 3-pointer with 33 sec- onds remaining in the contest.
Odyssey Sims established a USA single-game record with 10 assists against Brazil and finished averaging a team-third-best 12.7 points a game, while adding team-highs of 5.3 assists and 2.0 steals a game.
USA shot 50.0 percent from the field (39-78 FGs). Bradford and Hooper tied for the team lead with seven rebounds each.
The USA forced 22 turnovers and
limited Czech Republic to just 38.7 percent shooting from the field (24-62 FGs). Czech Republic’s 22 giveaways led to 21 points for the USA, while 13 U.S. turnovers led to just four points for Czech Republic. The USA notched 13 steals for the game with four players, Ellenberg, Liston, Massengale and Plaisance, each recording two steals apiece.
Plaisance opened the scoring with a
layup assisted by Sims with 9:23 left in the opening quarter before Ellenberg and Mosqueda-Lewis each hit 3-pointers to build an instant 8-0 lead. Ellenberg would score seven additional points in the period to lead the USA to a 21-11 lead after the first frame. Czech Republic trailed by 13 points
late in the second quarter when Mosqueda-Lewis took control of the final minute of the first half. Capped by a driving layup made while drawing a foul at the halftime buzzer, Mosqueda-

USA 105, Brazil 75
The USA complet-
ed preliminary round play with a perfect 3-0
record after dispatching Brazil 105-75 as Ellenberg drained 5-of-9 from 3-point range and scored all of her game-high 19 points in the first half, including 14 in the first quarter to lead the U.S. attack. Ellenberg’s five 3-point makes tied
Suzie McConnell (1991 versus Ireland) for the most 3-pointers made in a game by a U.S. player at the World University Games. Sims also etched her name into the record book and tied the USA World University Games individual game high with 10 assists, matching the mark previ- ously recorded by Kamie Ethridge in 1985 against Canada. “We had a great start and a big first
quarter,” said Coale. “Every time that we shared the ball, went inside-outside or changed sides of the floor, we got great shots and made most of them.” The USA scored the first 10 points
of the game against Brazil, much like it scored the first eight points against Czech Republic the previous night, and the catalyst, once again, was Ellenberg, who scored 14 first-quarter points after scoring 10 in the opening period against Czech Republic. Ellenberg hit four
3-pointers before checking out for the remainder of the quarter with 3:53 left and the USA ahead 22-5. The U.S. advantage would build to 36-16 at the end of the first quarter. “She is a volume scorer and when
she gets hot, gets in rhythm, has that look in her eye, she can reel off a crazy amount of points in a crazy short amount of time,” said Coale on the guard she also coaches for the Oklahoma Sooners. “That's the kind of thing she is capable of, and it was good to see her do that here, and I think it was good for her teammates to see her do that here.” The USA built its lead to 56-32 by
halftime and continued to stretch the margin in the third period. Mosqueda- Lewis made a 3-pointer assisted by Sims with 4:22 left in the third quarter to put the USA ahead 75-39 and allow Sims to tie the U.S. World University Games single-game assist record. The USA led
