The USA defeated Mali by the greatest margin so far in the 2009 FIBA Women's U19 Championship — 100-38.
It was a very balanced attack by the USA. Five of the 11 players scored in double digits (Nneka had eight). All eleven of them had at least three rebounds (Nneka had four).
Here is the game report from FIBA with statistics and photos.
As always, here is a later, but more detailed, report from USA Basketball, with quotes from the team. There is no quote from Nneka today, but teammate Shenise Johnson said, "Overall we had a great team effort. I thought C, C’eira Ricketts, did a great job on defense. I thought Des (Destiny Williams) did a great job rebounding. Nneka (Ogwumike) always does well."
The USA's second-round schedule is:
- Monday: vs Canada (2-1) at 1:15 a.m. Pacific Time, head-to-head comparison
- Tuesday: vs Russia (3-0) at 1:15 a.m. Pacific Time, head-to-head comparison
- Wednesday: vs Japan (1-2) at 11:00 p.m. Pacific Time on Tuesday, head-to-head comparison
