Hebard grabbed four rebounds to help the Americans to a big rebounding advantage in their 80-59 win over Brazil. The U.S. team is 2-0 going into its final preliminary game Friday.

Hebard, who is headed to Oregon after a successful career at West Valley, played 14 minutes and furnished two steals and a block. She was 1 of 2 from the foul line and didn't attempt a shot from the field.
