Caitlin Clark’s record-breaking World Cup debut has put her at the center of the United States’ second-round matchup with Italy in Berlin. The young star recorded 11 assists without a turnover in her first game at the tournament.

The United States opened its campaign by overwhelming China 94-61 on Friday. Clark, Paige Bueckers and Rhyne Howard each scored 14 points in their World Cup debuts.

Italy also won its opening game, defeating the Czech Republic 63-54 behind 19 points from Cecilia Zandalasini. The versatile WNBA forward is expected to be Italy’s main offensive threat as the team faces the depth and scoring talent of the American side.

The United States has not lost a game in this competition since September 2006 and is pursuing a fifth consecutive World Cup title in Berlin.

Playing surrounded by players with so much talent, no matter who I pass the ball to, I feel like they are never going to miss the shot.
