“One of the goals we
had coming in was to con- tinue to try to get the ball inside and shoot high- percentage shots by giving the ball to our post players, and I think we did a good job of that,” Staley contin- ued. “Then when we start- ed hitting down low, it got contagious to the outside. Destinee Walker came in and knocked down some 3s; Marina (Mabrey) knocked down some 3s. It’s good to see that phase of our game get jump-started, because if you’re looking at our team, that’s probably where our weaknesses are. It was good to see them hit some open threes.” Sinking 4-of-4 from

The USA recorded 30 assists on its
52 made baskets, and won the rebound- ing battle 42-16. El Salvador led in the first minute of
the game 5-2, but from there it was all USA. The USA’s largest run of the game, a 20-0 spurt from 8:48 to 4:58, put the North Americans up 22-5. El Salvador made a basket from the field to stop the spurt, and the first quarter ended with the USA leading 33-11. Nine U.S. players put points on the

10 rebounds and four steals; and Turner, who finished with 21 points and eight rebounds, set USA U18 women’s records for free throws made and attempted by
