Shanice Beckford-Norton sealed the win from the foul line with Cheridene Green scoring eight points as the top scorer. Hannah Jump continues to light up the tournament from outside with a three more two-pointers in the win, while Chantelle Handy battled through an injury scare earlier in the day.

The teams were tied at 10-10 before England made their move as Green had a couple of big and-1 plays that proved pivotal as they will now play for gold on Tuesday against Canada, who defeated New Zealand 16-11.

England had earlier defeated Kenya 21-12 in the quarter-finals in the afternoon session after backing up their 2-1 record in the group phase – recap, HERE.

Meanwhile, Scotland fell to a 17-11 loss against Canada in their last eight showdown as their medal hopes were ended.

Do you like our work?

We have a tiny favour to ask. In 2018 we set out to make Hoopsfix sustainable by building our relationship directly with our readers. Up until now, Hoopsfix has been creating editorials, videos and podcasts to provide sorely missing coverage of the British game and its distinct culture and community.

We have funded Hoopsfix with our freelance work creating basketball media, but sadly that means not only does it fall behind our client’s priorities, but some of those clients are the same organisations we need to report objectively on putting us in a conflicted position.

We want to devote more time to our mission of helping British basketball reach its potential, and produce even more content for the basketball community by making Hoopsfix a sustainable 100% independent business funded directly by our readers through Patreon.

If everyone who enjoys our content chose to support us, our future would be much more secure. For as little as $3 per month, you can support Hoopsfix – and it only takes a minute.

We are tremendously honoured and humbled to have a community of people who value what we do, and we look forward to being at the forefront of the British game as it continues to evolve.
