Theresa hits for double figure, leads USA into Gold Medal Game
Theresa Plaisance hit for double figures with 11 points while adding 6 rebounds and Team USA dominated yet another opponent beating Chile 98-28.
Another quick start and strong finish pushed the USA Women's U18 National Team (4-0) within one win of its ultimate goal.
Eight different U.S. players scored at least eight points on June 26, leading the Americans to a 98-28 win over Chile (2-2) in a medal semfinal game of the 2010 FIBA Americas U18 Championship for Women at the U.S. Olympic Training Center in Colorado Springs, Colo.
The win puts the USA in the gold medal game against Brazil (3-1), a 50-49 winner over Canada in Saturday's other medal semfinal, at 5:45 p.m. on June 27. The game is not only a rematch of the USA's 89-46 triumph over the Brazilians during preliminary round play but also several rounds of scrimmages in the days leading up to the tournament.
