Gilas Girls thump Samoa to reach U18 Asia Cup Division B final

The Filipinas, who have been struggling with slow starts in the first three frames, finally caught fire turned in a massive 16-2 start in the final period to shake off the hard-fighting Samoans and move one win away from earning the long coveted Division A promotion.

Alicia Villanueva also chipped in 11 points and eight rebounds while Sophia Canindo was a spark off the bench with 11 points, six rebounds and four steals. The Filipinas now await the winner of the other semifinal pairing between Lebanon and Iran to determine their final opponent. Good thing, their defense also held on and limited Samoa to three points as well before going on a 14-2 closeout to take a double-digit spread, 17-5 at the end of the first frame.
