ONE step away from a gold medal match, Hoppers Crossing’s Rachel Jarry and the Australian Opals will take on the mighty USA in tonight’s women’s basketball semi-final.
USA is the form team of the competition having qualified in first place with an undefeated record, while the Opals ran second in group B with just the one blemish.
Jarry, who got her start at the Altona Gators, has been used sparingly this tournament.
The 20-year-old small forward has averaged 3.2 points and 2.2 assists per game.
The game will tip off on Friday at 2am (AEST).
