Kennedy Brown, a former Duke center, helped lead the United States to a 20-17 victory over Dallas 3XBA in the 3×3 W Series event in Quebec on Sunday.

Former Duke basketball center Kennedy Brown added some Team USA prestige to her resume on Sunday.

Brown and the U.S. 3×3 women’s basketball team won a FIBA 3×3 Women’s Series event in Quebec on Sunday, a 20-17 triumph over Dallas 3XBA.

Brown finished with five points during the title game, and she also scored seven points in a semifinal victory over the hosting Canadian team.

The 6-foot-6 center started 67 games for the Blue Devils over the last two seasons, and she averaged 8.2 points, 5.6 rebounds, and 1.3 blocks per game last season. She scored a season-high 17 points against Toledo, and she contributed nine points and five rebounds to Duke’s monumental upset of Ohio State during the second round of the NCAA Tournament. Head coach Kara Lawson routinely credited Brown for the Blue Devils’ defensive prowess.

The victory comes roughly one month before the Olympic Games in Paris, where the U.S. hopes to win gold.
