SAITAMA, Japan (AP) — A dominant performance in the quarterfinals by Breanna Stewart and her U.S. women's basketball teammates has left the team two victories away from winning a seventh consecutive Olympic gold medal.

Next up for the Americans is Serbia, the 2016 Rio Games bronze medalists.

The other semifinal game on Friday will feature a rematch of group play with France facing Japan -- teams that the U.S. struggled to beat in pool play.
