Another strong game for Hartley

UConn incoming freshman Bria Hartley had 14 points, four rebounds and two assists in 24 minutes as the United States defeated Brazil 89-46 to improve to 2-0 in pool play in the FIBA Americas U-18 Championship for Women.

Hartley's future UConn teammate Stefanie Dolson had six points and four rebounds in 17 minutes. Stanford signee Chiney Ogwumike led the U.S. with 15 points and seven rebounds while Alexis Jones (12 points) and Kayla McBride (10 points, six rebounds) also scored in double figures.

The U.S., which already clinched a spot in the semifinals, will wrap up pool play Friday against winless Puerto Rico.

Canada is in good shape to win Pool A since it is 2-0 with a game remaining against winless Costa Rica. Assuming Canada and the United States avoid the upsets, the U.S. would play the winner of Friday's Mexico/Chile game in Saturday's first semifinal while the winner of the Brazil/Argentina game would draw Canada in the other semi. The winners would meet for the title on Sunday at 7:45 p.m.
