IRAPUATO, Mexico — After the United States U16 Women’s Basketball National Team cruised past Canada 85-59 in the championship game of the FIBA U16 AmeriCup, Plano East rising sophomore guard Arianna Robinson changed her profile picture on her personal “X” (formerly Twitter) account.

Her new picture showed a United States flag wrapped around her body, her biting on the gold medal and holding the championship trophy in her left arm.

Sunday’s victory marked the fifth straight time that the United States has won the AmeriCup.

It was complete domination by the USA women, which won all five games by at least 25 points, as the squad went a perfect 5-0 in Mexico.

The United States went 3-0 in group play, defeating Venezuela 113-52, Puerto Rico 138-38 and Argentina 101-46. In the quarterfinals, Team USA obliterated Panama by 131-12 final. The Americans advanced to the final after dominating host nation Mexico 112-50 in the semifinals.

Robinson played a significant role in the United States’ domination. She averaged 9.7 points, 2.0 rebounds, 1.8 steals and 1.7 steals in six games played.

Robinson scored in double figures against Venezuela (12 points), Puerto Rico (15), Panama (13) and Mexico (12). In Sunday’s championship game against Canada, she tallied two points in eight minutes played.
