USA Women Defeat Spain 76-66 to Reach FIBA World Cup Final Against France
Team USA advanced to the FIBA Women's World Cup final by defeating Spain 76-66 in the semifinals on September 12 in Berlin. The victory extends the U.S. winning streak to 35 games in the tournament and sets up a rematch against France, whom the Americans narrowly beat at the 2024 Olympics. Breanna Stewart led the U.S. with 17 points, while the fourth quarter proved decisive after a tight first three quarters. The U.S. now seeks a fifth consecutive World Cup title, a feat that would match the record held by the former Soviet Union.
