Also shining at the match today was Destinee Hooker. The 24-year old gained 21 points and at one point had the crowd cheering her name on.

After tonight's victory, the U.S. team will be gearing for their Monday match against Brazil, the team they lost the Olympic gold medal to in Beijing 2008.

This is the fourth time that Logan Tom has competed in the Olympics. She made her Olympic debut at the age of 19 at the 2000 Summer Olympics in Sydney. She led Team USA to a silver medal in 2008 and was named "Best Scorer".

Tom attended Highland High School where she was reportedly a stellar student.
