SAITAMA, Japan (AP)-The US Women’s Basketball Team will play for the Gold Medal this Sunday at the Tokyo Olympics.

The Americans beat Serbia 79 to 59,  led by Brittney Griner had 15 points and 12 rebounds, to advance.

The US Women’s Basketball team is now one win away from a seventh consecutive gold medal which would match the U.S. men’s team that won seven Olympic titles in a row from 1936-68. It would also give Sue Bird and Diana Taurasi five gold medals, which would be the most ever by a basketball player in the Olympics.

The US team will play the winner of today’s match up between  Japan and France.
