American Thayer Hall, one of the youngest members of the championship-winning squad and just a high school junior, has been named the MVP of the 2017 U20 Pan American Cup.

While she didn’t crack double-digit scoring in the championship match, in the Americans’ toughest game of the tournament, the semi-finals against Cuba, she put up 20 points – the 6th-best single game scoring output of the tournament.

In total, Hall had 61 points across the tournament, which ranks her 3rd in total points behind Cuba’s Heidy Casanova and Argentina’s Tosi.

Cuba dominated the all-tournament team,  placing 5 players on the squad, as compared to just Hall for the victorious Americans.
