In Taipei, Taiwan, Virginia forward Wendy Palmer scored six of the United States' eight points in overtime as it beat South Korea 90-89 to win the Jones Cup for the seventh time in 14 years.

Palmer, who finished with 25 points and 11 rebounds, scored with 1:08 left in overtime to give the United States an 88-87 lead. Charisse Sampson of Kansas made two free throws with 36 seconds left for a three-point U.S. lead, enough to hold off South Korea's final basket with 20 seconds left.
