The USA won the gold medal at the Pan American games, defeating Brazil in Rio de Janeiro 79-66 before a crowd of 13,200 Brazilian fans. Candice said, "...there's no feeling like beating a country in their own country. It's kind of overwhelming, it's starting to hit me what we accomplished."
This is the second gold medal for Candice this season and the second for Jayne in her young career (she was on the USA U18 team that won the gold last summer).
Here is the story and the box score of the gold medal game. The USA Basketball website has links to the story and box score of each USA game in the tournament.
