Spain 64 – 77 USA
Spain played with dignity and earned the respect of Team USA after losing to a great team. The Spanish National Team started off slowly during the first quarter and could not find a way to stop a hot Maya Moore. It was not the best shooting nights for Spain but they never gave up and the scoreboard proves that this team played with heart throughout the championships. The lost to Team USA was the fewest point distance during the entire championships against Team USA.
Spains Silver Medal is the highest achievement for the Women’s National Team and proved that this team could be the greatest of All-Times. Sancho Lyttle and Alba Torrens were named to the All-Star 5 Team while Maya Moore was named the 2014 Turkey MVP. Australia defeated Turkey to win the bronze medal.
