U16 WOMEN: GB 40-57 SLOVENIA

22nd August 2019

GB played hard in their quarter final against Slovenia but in the end their 27 turnovers resulted in a 40-57 loss.

The first period started with neither team gaining an advantage as they fought for their place in the final four. As the quarter came to a close Great Britain had secured a small 13-10 lead.

The second quarter continued in the same way but after some good offensive work plus a rebound and put back score from Abbey Whitehouse, GB moved out to their biggest lead of the game at 20-14.

Slovenia then stepped up the pressure defensively and caused British turnovers, capitalising on them as they move ahead 20-22. A late Slovenian 3 saw the half end 22-25.

As the 2nd half started GB scored first and narrowed the lead to just one possession. But the Slovenians then heated up, building their lead to 9 and forcing GB into a timeout. After the break Slovenia didn’t switch off and grew their lead to a 42-31 advantage as the final quarter started.

Britain came into the fourth fired up and narrowed their deficit with a good run. But Slovenia put a stop to the comeback, pressuring GB on defence and forcing turnovers as the lead grew until the final buzzer.

GB Statistical leaders:
Points: Isimenme Ozzy-Momodu – 8
Rebounds: Isimenme Ozzy-Momodu – 20
Assists: Abbey Whitehouse – 4
Steals: Neve Marvill – 3

The results sees Slovenia advance to the semi-final as GB move into the games to decide 5th to 8th place over the next two days. Coach Liburd’s side will be in action again tomorrow against either Ukraine or Norway, with that game set to tip at 11:45am UK time.
