@usabasketball first won the World Cup in 1953, then again in 1957. For the “If Not For Them” docuseries, we captured the memories of two of the members of the gold medal-winning 1957 squad – Joan Crawford and Alice “Cookie” Barron.

Coach Washington fulfilled a lifelong dream of competing in the Olympics after being denied as a member of the National Team team prior to the 1972 Olympics, when women's basketball was not included in the competition that year.
