Minneapolis, MN (Northland's NewsCenter) --- The Minnesota Lynx will have three players on the 2012 United States Olympic women's basketball team as the Americans try for a fifth straight gold medal.

The Lynx won the franchise's first ever WNBA championship last season, and Maya Moore was named as the league's top rookie.
