OSTRAVA, Czech Republic (AP) — Maya Moore scored 15 points and the United States put on an offensive clinic in a 108-52 rout of Senegal on Friday at the women’s basketball world championship.

Candice Dupree added 14 for the balanced U.S. offense that had six players score in double figures.

The game quickly turned into a rout for the Americans, who broke the 100-point mark for the 14th time in world championship play.

The U.S. (2-0) went on an early 17-0 run that looked like a pre-game layup drill. Diana Taurasi started the spurt with consecutive three-point plays. The Americans led 58-25 at halftime.

Fatou Dieng scored 10 points for Senegal (0-2).

The U.S. will play France on Saturday.
