Team USA Wins FIBA AmeriCup Gold in Chile

News summary

Hannah Hidalgo, a standout from Notre Dame, was instrumental in leading Team USA to gold at the 2025 FIBA Women’s AmeriCup in Santiago, Chile, marking her third career gold with the national team. After a key semifinal victory over Canada, where Hidalgo tallied 19 points, four assists, and four steals, the U.S. overcame Brazil 92-84 in the final, aided by Hidalgo's clutch free-throw shooting and defensive prowess. Team USA finished the tournament undefeated, showcasing resilience with strong fourth-quarter performances against both Canada and Brazil and excelling at the free-throw line despite shooting struggles from the field. Hidalgo led the entire tournament in steals, underscoring her impact on both ends of the court. The 2025 triumph is especially significant as Team USA had not included professional players and had finished with silver in 2023, making the win over a Brazilian squad with WNBA talent particularly notable. Fans and analysts praised Hidalgo’s leadership and defensive edge throughout the tournament, cementing her reputation as a core contributor to Team USA’s international success.
