McCormack, New Zealand eliminated

Jess McCormack's next stop should be Storrs as New Zealand failed to advance to the quarterfinals of the Olympic women's basketball tournament.

New Zealand lost to the United States 96-60 to finish 1-4 in Pool B play. The top four teams advanced to the quarterfinals and New Zealand finished fifth.

McCormack, who will sit out the upcoming season after transferring to UConn from Washington, had two points, three rebounds and one steal against the U.S.

The 19-year-old McCormack averaged 2.6 points and 2.6 rebounds in five games for New Zealand. Former UConn stars Diana Taurasi and Sue Bird combined for seven assists as the U.S. finished 5-0 in Pool B.

The U.S. will face Korea in Tuesday's quarterfinals.
