France sets tournament record for three-pointers in win against Nigeria

France secured a 111-56 victory over Nigeria at the Uber Arena in Berlin on September 7, 2026, to finish Group B with a perfect 3-0 record. The team set a new FIBA Women's Basketball World Cup record by hitting 22 three-pointers during the contest. Gabby Williams led the effort with 25 points, while Marine Johannes added significant scoring, helping five players finish in double figures. This performance follows a narrow 55-52 win for Team USA over Italy, where the Americans struggled with 29 percent shooting. France now moves into the quarterfinals of the tournament. Because the teams are on opposite sides of the knockout bracket, France and Team USA cannot meet unless both reach the final round.
