New Hawkeye Lucy Olsen and the women’s 2024 USA 3×3 Nations League team came up just short of upsetting the US Olympic team at a special exhibition Friday night. The game was part of WNBA All-Star festivities in Phoenix.

Team USA won 19-16 in a back-and-forth affair that saw Olsen hit a three-pointer. The winner was determined by either who scored 21 points first or who led after ten minutes. Each regular shot was worth one point with three-pointers worth two points.

Olsen’s squad is set to compete at the 2024 FIBA 3×3 Nations League Americas Conference July 22-28 in Mexico City. After last season, ESPN.com listed the Villanova transfer as the fourth-best player available in the transfer portal.
