TORONTO – A rematch of one of the most fierce, back and forth battles in the women’s round-robin played out the same way once more as France took the win of the first women’s semifinal of GLOBL JAM in a fight to the finish over Belgium 74-73.
The well-rounded French effort that has seen success through the competition was on full display as five different scorers had six or more points by the half including Kadiatou Sissoko and Tima Pouye both tipping in eight points to lead the comeback charge. While France only managed to score 13 points against a strong, physical Belgium team, they held their own and kept Belgium to just 12 points and suddenly at the end of the third quarter the game was tied 57-57 with ten minutes to play.
“I’m very very proud of my team. We fought until the end, we know when you play two times in a row against a team it’s never the same,” said Fauthoux. Lisowa-Mbaka led all scorers with 17 points, eight rebounds and seven assists while Billie Massey added a double-double of 12 points and 12 rebounds in the loss.
