England U16 Women Lose in Semi Finals

The England U16 Women lost in their Division B FIBA European Championship semi final yesterday, being downed by Hungary 65-50.

Karen Burton’s team struggled from the field, shooting just 26%, and struggled taking care of the ball (21 turnovers) allowing Hungary to cruise through to the final. The loss means that England misses out on promotion to Division A and will remain in Division B for the European Championships next summer.

Janice Monakana led England with double-double of 16 points and 16 rebounds. Shequila Joseph and Leah McDerment totaled double figures in scoring, adding 12 each. Full statistics from the game are available here.

England will face Portugal later today in the third place playoff.
