Breanna Stewart’s basketball résumé got more incredible, if that’s even possible, on Sunday.

Stewart, a 2016 UConn alum, scored a game-high 22 points and added 10 rebounds and four assists to lead the United States to a come-from-behind 97-79 win over France in the final of the FIBA Women’s World Cup in Berlin on Sunday.

She was named tournament MVP.

It was the second of back-to-back games in which Stewart’s play was key for the Americans. On Saturday, she scored 16 points and added six rebounds as the U.S. beat Spain 76-66 in the tournament semifinals to set up the clash with France and one of Stewart’s former UConn teammates – Gabby Williams.

Williams finished with 20 points on 6-of-16 shooting (4-of-8 from three) along with seven assists and three rebounds. Williams now plays for the Golden State Valkyries. She was named to the All-Tournament team.

Dominique Malonga of the Seattle Storm led the team with 21 points in 20 minutes. She and Williams were among the 10 current or former WNBA players to suit up for France.

Also among the UConn alums on Team USA, Napheesa Collier scored six points and grabbed seven rebounds in 23 minutes.

Paige Bueckers saw limited action on Sunday, gathering just one rebound in three minutes.

After the game, Stewart gave credit to all of her teammates and the women who came before them.

"I’ve been fortunate to play with a lot of amazing players and this group was really special," Stewart said. "The way we were tested on and off the court -- and we continued to thrive through it. Really proud of them.

"We’re the standard. We always have been. We are continuing to do that, especially with this gold medal. And not forgetting that. It’s always about us." 

It was the 36th consecutive win for the United States in FIBA World Cup play. The Americans have not lost a Worlc Cup game since 2006.

The French team led 20-17 at the end of the first period, and the advantage grew to 31-17 after Williams nailed a 3-pointer with 7:34 left in the half to complete an 11-0 run.

Team USA pared down the lead to four, 41-37, and a basket by Janelle Salaun – assisted by Williams – drove France to a six-point margin. Caitlin Clark hit a 3-pointer with four seconds remaining in the half to send France to the locker room up 45-43.

Just six seconds into the third quarter, Stewart scored to tie the game. On the next play, she grabbed a rebound on a Williams miss, and Collier scored to give the U.S. the lead.

The United States went on a pair of runs – 7-0, 13-1 – to outscore France 30-12 in the quarter to put the game on ice at 73-57 heading into the final quarter.

It is hard to comprehend just what Stewart, 32, has accomplished in her career.

From North Syracuse, N.Y., Stewart won multiple high school player of the year honors before entering UConn in the Class of 2012, where she achieved legend status.

In her four seasons at UConn, the Huskies were 151-5 and finished undefeated in the 2013-14 and 2015-16 campaigns. UConn won four consecutive NCAA Tournament championships, and Stewart was named the Final Four Most Outstanding Player in all four tournaments (2013-16) – the first woman ever to do that.

In the Olympics, she has gold medals from the 2016, 2020 and 2024 Games. She now has four World Cup wins, with the latest joining tournament victories in 2014, 2018 and 2022.

And her national team career started before she ever arrived at UConn, winning gold medals at the 2011 and 2013 FIBA U19 World Cups; 2012 FIBA Americas U18 Championship; 2010 FIBA U17 World Cup; 2009 FIBA Americas U16 Championship.

She doesn’t have a completely perfect record, however, in WNBA championship rounds.

Stewart and her Seattle Storm teammates won WNBA championships in 2018 and 2020; she was the Finals MVP in both seasons.

With the New York Liberty, Stewart won a third WNBA title in 2024 after losing to the Las Vegas Aces in 2023.

Next up for Stewart on the national front, barring any injuries or setbacks: the 2028 Olympics on U.S. soil in Los Angeles.
