Jackie Young’s Surge Powers USA to Fifth Straight World Cup Title
Team USA secured their fifth consecutive World Cup title by overcoming a halftime deficit against France, fueled by Breanna Stewart's 22-point double-double and Jackie Young's 18-point surge. The victory extends the Americans' record to 12 total championships, capping a dominant second-half performance that outscored the French 30-12 in the third quarter alone.
Detailed box scores from GN sports/basketball (en-US) reveal Breanna Stewart anchored the comeback with a 22-point, 10-rebound double-double. The report also notes France's Gabby Williams, who led her team in scoring at halftime, could only add four points in the second half as the Americans dominated the final two quarters.
