GB Women Suffer Another Loss in Belgium

The GB Senior Women went 0-2 against Belgium after losing the second of their back-to-back games last night, 66-59.

Great Britain were again without Jo Leedham, Natalie Stafford, Kim Butler and Lisa Hutchinson (Butler and Hutchinson due to injuries in Tuesday’s game). Belgium got the better of the British side but not immediately. GB were only 9 points down at the half but a great third quarter from the home side let them build a lead. By the end of the third GB trailed by 17 points, 38-55.

Tom Maher’s side got close with a good run in the fourth quarter but Belgium stepped up to close out the game to the final score.

Julie Page contributed heavily again, ending with seven boards to go along with her 10 points, but also Jeneya Wade-Frey added 19 points also.

The Women will now head to Utrecht, Holland, for back to back games against the Netherlands on Friday and Saturday.
