Notre Dame's Niele Ivey wins a gold medal with Team USA at the U19 Women's World Cup
Notre Dame women's basketball coach Niele Ivey, had an interesting summer job, coaching the Women's Under-19 National Team. It's safe to say that coach Ivey did very well, as she led them to win a gold medal with Team USA at the U19 Women's World Cup in the Czech Republic on Sunday. Team USA, led by head coach Teri Moren, defeated Australia 88-76, claiming its fourth consecutive gold medal in the event. Saniyah Hall was named the MVP after stellar play on both ends of the court. She led the U.S. in scoring (19.9 ppg) and ranked third overall in scoring. For the tournament, she ranked fourth in steals per game (2.9) and eighth in blocks per game (1.1). She finished the week with four games of 20-plus points. Sienna Betts recorded another double-double with 11 points and 11 rebounds and joined Hall on the All-Star Five following a week with five double-doubles over seven games. She ranked second among all players in rebounds per game (10.0) and recorded 14.6 points per game. Coach Ivey added a second gold medal to her resume as an assistant with USA Basketball. Last summer, Ivey earned her first gold with the program while serving as an assistant at the 2024 FIBA U18 AmeriCup in Colombia. Earlier this month, ND's All-American junior guard Hannah Hidalgo helped USA claim gold at the FIBA Women's AmeriCup 2025. It's been a busy summer for the Irish, and hopefully all this winning translated over into the season.
