BEIJING (WVLT) -- Whether they're given out by the NCAA or the IOC, Lady Vols basketball players have gotten plenty of trophies lately.

Three former UT women's hoops players -- Candace Parker, Kara Lawson and Tamika Catchings -- helped lead the U.S. women's basketball team to a 92-65 rout over Australia in Saturday's Olympic gold medal game.

Lawson led the Americans with 15 points against the Aussies, including five straight points to end the first half and give the USA a 47-30 advantage.

Parker, who has averaged 8.7 points per game during the Games, scored 14, opening the second quarter with eight of the Americans' first ten points.

Catchings scored six points off the bench for Team USA.
