UConn's Bria Hartley had 17 points and Kaleena Mosqueda-Lewis added 15 as the United States defeated host Russia 90-71 in the World University Games championship game.

Hartley had 11 points, including a pair of key 3-pointers in the third quarter, to allow the U.S. to go into the fourth quarter with a 68-47 lead.

Hartley was 6 of 7 from the field and also had a pair of steals while Mosqueda-Lewis added four rebounds and two assists as the U.S. won the World University Games for the third straight time.

When Tatiana Grigoryeva scored six points to pull within eight points midway through the third quarter, Hartley scored eight points in a span of 1:47 as the U.S. ended the quarter on a run of 18-5. Russia could get no closer than 15 points in the fourth quarter.

“Ariel (Massengale) did a good job of pushing the ball, and she was able to find me on those two threes,” Hartley said. “A lot of the stuff we did sparked off our defense. We were able to get some stops and get some rebounds and push it.”

Central Michigan's Crystal Bradford had 16 points and two steals, LSU's Theresa Plaisance had nine points and six rebounds, Baylor's Odyssey Sims finished with 10 points while Nebraska's Jordan Hooper had nine points, nine rebounds and two assists.

Hartley led the U.S. with 81 points in six games (all victories) followed by Mosqueda-Lewis (78), Sims (76) and Bradford (65). Mosqueda-Lewis also led the U.S. with 41 rebounds.

"I can't really describe the feeling," Mosqueda-Lewis said. "Being able to win with this group of girls, and to come together so quickly and play as well as we did, it's pretty awesome for us.

"I definitely think I've been able to grow this summer. I had to play the four (power forward), be in there with the big guys, and it definitely got me to widen my game. I was able to go inside-out. That definitely helped a lot."
