NEWSUSO Mondeville didn't beat the United States women in their friendly on Monday night but they did make a strong impression on the most dominating team in international basketball.
The United States women went on a 13-0 spurt late in the first quarter to pull away from the French team and eventually posted an 87-66 victory. |

USO Mondeville face one of the biggest tests in women's basketball on Monday when they host the all-conquering Team USA at the Halle des Sports Pierre Beregovoy.
The US have been on an incredible gold medal run since their title at the Atlanta Olympics in 1996 with triumphs in all of the Games and FIBA World Championships since. |
