Under-18 Women Sure Shot National Cup: CoLA Southwark Pride vs Ipswich Basketball Club - 3.30pm

Ipswich and CoLA are two of the most dominant forces in women’s and girls’ basketball, so it is not surprising that both have made it to their second consecutive final in the U18 women’s competition. Last year, the Pride utilised their trademark defensive strength to limit Ipswich and claim the Sure Shot U18 Women's National Cup, winning 68-41. MVP honours went to Emily O'Connell in that game, who closed with 14 points, five rebounds, two assists and a steal as an integral part of CoLA's team effort. O’Connell has moved onto pastures new, but captain Violet Stutz is there to lead CoLA’s charge in defence of their title. Ipswich are currently top of the Under-18 Women Southern Premier, with a 4-1 record and 13 points – four more than their rivals, CoLA, who are in second. The Suffolkers recorded a huge semi-final win over Team Solent Kestrels to secure their third consecutive appearance in a National Cup final (minus the cancelled COVID season of 2020/21). In the 92-44 win, forward Louisa Gibbins had 23 points and eight rebounds, whilst teammates Yazmin Edwards and Christabel Osarobo recorded double-doubles. However, their captain, Olivia Forster, is arguably Ipswich’s ace. The 5’6” guard is the WEABL’s (Women’s Elite Academy Basketball League) scoring leader, averaging 24.8 per game and is second only to London Lions’ Fatmata Janneh in the WNBL D1 for average points, scoring 20.2 ppg. On top of that she is a top 10 leader in assists and steals. An all-around asset and perhaps the key to winning the cup. Full preview: https://www.basketballengland.co.uk/n...
