UConn commit Napheesa Collier played a starring role as the United States completed a dominating run to the FIBA Americas U18 Championship gold medal.

Collier had 18 points, six rebounds, three assists, one steal and one blocked shot in the 104-74 win over Canada in Sunday's championship game.

Collier scored in double figures in four of the five games with a pair of double-doubles as she averaged 14.0 points, 8.6 rebounds, 3.2 assists, 1.6 steals and 1.0 blocked shots. Collier finished with the fifth highest rebounding average for a player from the U.S. in the tournament's history trailing only multiple time collegiate all-americans Tina Charles, Courtney Paris, Jayne Appel and Candace Parker.

Thoughts of tonight’s gold medal-winning game:
"I thought we came out super focused because it’s the gold medal game, and we were playing Canada again, so all of us were in the zone."

On what they worked on to beat Canada three times (once in scrimmage, twice in competition):
"I think because we were playing them for the third time, it made us want to get everything perfect and be more focused and play our hardest game."

On winning her very first gold medal for USA Basketball:
"I feel awesome. It’s feels awesome to play and win for the USA."

Former UConn recruiting target A'ja Wilson had 25 points and 11 rebounds. She finished the tournament averaging 19 points per game breaking the U.S. record set by current UConn forward Morgan Tuck. Tuck averaged 17.8 points per game during the 2012 tournament. She became the 14th future UConn player to compete for the U.S. in this event and this is the ninth straight time a future UConn player was a member of the U.S. squad.
