Illinois' Chatrice White wins FIBA U-19 World Championship gold medal with Team USA

Illinois women's basketball's Chatrice White scored 10 points, pulled down five rebounds and added an assist off the bench in the United States' 78-70 win over host Russia in the FIBA U-19 World Championship game Sunday in Chekhov, Russia.

It is the sixth consecutive title for Team USA.

As a freshman last season, White averaged a team second-best 14.5 ppt, and team-highs of 7.0 rpg. and 1.9 bpg. She owns the Illini's all-time freshman season records for points (448) and blocked shots (60), ranks third all-time among freshman in rebounds (216) and fourth in steals (60). Her contributions helped the Illini finish last season with a 15-16 (6-12 Big Ten) record after going 9-21 (2-14 Big Ten) the previous season.

White's 60 blocks ranks her sixth among the Illini's all-time single-season block shots leaders and 15th for career blocked shots.

The Shelby, Neb. native, earned all-Big Ten conference honorable mention honors, was named to the Big Ten All-Freshman Team and was a three time Big Ten Freshman of the Week.
