Team USA Women Gets 4th Straight Blowout Win in FIBA Women’s World Cup Qualifiers

The women are ROLLING. Since the FIBA Women’s World Cup Qualifying Tournament began on March 11; the USA has participated in four matchups against Senegal, Puerto Rico, New Zealand and Italy. And they have now won all four in dominating fashion. In their latest victory they won by more than 50 points. On Sunday, Team USA Women gets their 4th straight blowout win in the FIBA Women’s World Cup Qualifiers.

Yes, the USA are showing absolutely no mercy on the court. In each of their games so far they have won by extremely large margins. At least 40 points.

USA is getting the job done offensively by having some serious shooters on the team. After three completed qualifier matchups, Caitlin Clark and Paige Bueckers were tied as the leading scorers for Team USA for the FIBA Women’s Basketball World Cup event. With 37 points each.

But after the New Zealand win, Clark emerged as the clear leader. Caitlin Clark leads all players through four games with 51 points and 25 assists. Breaking down her performance on the court looks like this:

51 Points on 79% TS
7/7 (100%) 2FG
9/20 (45%) 3FG
10/12 (83.3%) FT
25 Assists
+104 (also Team high)

Clark’s numbers are even more impressive when you factor in that she is playing basketball for the first time in nearly eight months due to dealing with multiple injuries. Nevertheless, not to be ignored is Rhyne Howard. In game one she was the leading scorer. And in game four, she confidently led all scorers with 18 points in the win. She has been a threat so far throughout qualification.
