VI to play for bronze @ CBC Female U16 C/ships
The VI played Suriname in the semi-finals but fell short, 41-49 despite a spirited fight back in the latter stages of the game on Friday July 15, 2016.
They play Antigua and Barbuda for third place after the Antiguans fell to Bahamas in the other semi-finals.
Virgin Islands had reached the semi-finals by handing Barbados their first defeat of the tournament, 49-39, on Thursday July 14, 2016.
Barbados simply could not buy a bucket, taking 85 shots to only hit 17 of them compared to VI hitting 22 of their 66 attempts, which included 2-4 from downtown.
Barbados on the other hand, did not attempt a shot from beyond the arc in the game which showed their inability to hit shots at the rim as well.
Once again, Shauliqua Fahie was the top player for the VI, dropping 18 points to go along with 10 rebounds, seven steals, and two blocks. Mahkayla Pickering also had 10 points in the win.
Tower Lorde was the top scorer for the Bajans with 16 points and 21 rebounds.
