Women’s World Cup player grades: How Caitlin Clark, Chelsea Gray and the rest of Team USA fared in group stage

After a narrow victory over Italy on Sunday, Team USA bounced back with a dominant 105-64 win over Czechia to conclude group stage play at the 2026 FIBA Women's World Cup with a perfect 3-0 record. The Americans, who have now won 33 consecutive World Cup games, will be off until Thursday, when they'll face either Hungary or Japan in the quarterfinals.

"You can see our chemistry slowly building," Caitlin Clark said after the win over Czechia. "We were excited we had a back-to-back and could get out here and play again after last night when we didn't play our best… So thought we were much better on the offensive end. Played with a lot more pace tonight, played in transition better. Thought we were good on defense. Excited to have the bye and get ready for three more games."
