LADY AVS SNAPS ANGELS WIN STREAK
Boasting an
impressive five game win streak, Mobay Angels where cut
down to size on Sunday night after losing 44-22 to a
re-energized and well-oiled Lady Avalanche side at the
Montego Bay Cricket Club court as the season continued
in the WBA Female Basketball League (FBL).
Lady Avs successful performance was paced by Olivia
Bowen (14 points, 7 rebounds, 8 steals and 3 blocks)
and healthy support from Suzette Virgo and
reigning FBL MVP Nicole Dias. Despite losing the
first quarter 8-6, Lady Avs came back strong to minutes
in the second to take the lead and holding off a
fighting group of ‘angels’ to go into the half-time
break with a 20-15 cushion.
However, the half time margin of five points Lady Avs
enjoyed began to expand in the third quarter as they
outscored Angels 8-4. The game looked more one-sided as
the champions took the halo and wings off their
opponents so to speak. Angels now faced with a daunting
task had no answer, they were schooled - Bowen and Dias
exerted control of the boards at both ends. No one would
believe that this was the same Angels team who defeated
the champs in an upset back on September 2.
The gap got to nine and for a moment in the fourth
things looked hopeful when Angels got on the score sheet
first. Nevertheless, it was false hope as Lady Avalanche
pummeled the Angels in the final quarter 16-3, Virgo
ended with 10 points, 4 rebounds and team high 8 steals,
while Dias also made 10 buckets, 6 rebounds, 2 steals
and 1 block. Highlight players for Angels were:
Ladonna Lamonth (8 points, 4 rebounds and 3 steals)
and Donesha Love (6 points, 4 rebounds and 8
steals).
