UConn, oops I mean the U.S. senior national team, went 3-0 to win the Ekaterinburg (Russia) International Invitational title.

Former Louisville star Angel McCoughtry was the U.S. squad's leading scorer, averaging 15.3 points (on 62.5 percent shooting). She was also the team's leading rebounder, averaging 7.3 per game, and had eight assists, six steals and four blocks in the wins over ZVVK USK Prague, Euroleasing Sopron and host UMMC Ekaterinburg.

UConn senior Tina Charles (12.3 points, 6.7 rebounds) and former Husky Asjha Jones (12 points, 4.5 rebounds) were the only other double-digit scorers for the U.S., coached by UConn's Geno Auriemma.

Charles and Jones were joined by former Huskies Swin Cash (7.7 points), Sue Bird (6.3 points and a team-best 14 assists) and Renee Montgomery (4.7 points to go with eight assists and four steals).

The 13-member squad was missing many of the players expected to represent the U.S. at the 2010 World Championships as former UConn star Diana Taurasi as well as fellow 2008 Olympic gold medalists Cappie Pondexter and Tamika Catchings were unavailable because they were playing in the WNBA finals. Seimone Augustus and Kara Lawson, also members of the 2008 U.S. Olympic squad, were injured and unable to compete.
