The USA team won their next four games, setting up the gold medal game against USSR. This game was also close and was tied at 82 points each with six seconds to go in the game. The Soviets Elena Chausova received the inbound's pass and hit the game-winning shot in the final seconds, giving the USSR team the gold medal with a score of 84–82. The USA team earned the silver medal. Noble averaged 3.9 points per game. [8]

In 1984, the USA sent its national team to the 1984 William Jones Cup competition in Taipei, Taiwan, for pre-Olympic practice. The team easily beat each of the eight teams they played, winning by an average of just under 50 points per game. Noble averaged 5.5 points per game. [9]
