Preliminary Round

In the first preliminary round game, Colombia faced the US. Aliya Boston was the leading scorer for the US team with 17 points, while Samantha Brunelle scored 13. Caitlin Clark took three shots from beyond the three point arc and hit all three of them. Kylie Watson and Paige Bueckers were also double-digit scorers with 10 points each. The US won by a score of 91–33.[5]

The US next faced Mexico. The opening quarter was close with the US leading by a single point at the end of the quarter. A full court press in the second quarter helped the United States pull away from Mexico en route to a 100–37 win. Brunelle had a double double with 18 points and 11 rebounds. Bueckers took seven shots and hit all seven to set a US single-game record for field-goal percentage.[5]

The final preliminary game for the US was against Puerto Rico. The US did not shoot well from the field, hitting only 31% of the shots. They had difficulty controlling the ball, turning it over 27 times, but their aggressive play forced 43 turnovers against Puerto Rico which included a US U16 record of 25 steals in a single game. The leading scorer was Boston who recorded 17 points and tied a record for free throw percentage hitting all five of her free-throw attempts. The US won the game 79–32.[5]
