Stewart, Williams propel U.S. in U-17 final

UConn recruiting targets Breanna Stewart and Elizabeth Williams each had double-doubles as the U.S. defeated China 97-64 in the semifinals of the FIBA Under-17 Championship for Women on Saturday.

Stewart, a 6-foot-3 rising high school junior forward/center from North Syracuse, N.Y., had 17 points (on 7 of 9 shooting), 11 rebounds, five blocks and two assists while Williams, a 6-3 rising senior forward/center from Virginia Beach, Va., had 14 points, 11 rebounds and three assists.

Former UConn recruiting target Ariel Massengale led the U.S. with 22 points and six assists while UConn commit Kaleena Mosqueda-Lewis was one of three United States players with nine points.

China, which made 14 3-pointers in the game, pulled within three points with 2:46 left in the third quarter. Massengale had 11 points and UConn recruiting target Jewell Loyd added seven as the U.S. outscored China 30-10 the rest of the way.

The United States will play the winner host France in Sunday's 11:30 a.m. championship game.
