Singapore Basketball Centre, Monday, March 2, 2015 — Balanced offensive play helped Singapore
Chinese Girls’ (SCGS) top Anderson Secondary 47–25 in the North Zone B Division Girls’ Basketball
Championship final, giving the former South Zone champions their first North Zone title.
The victory is SCGS’ sixth straight zonal title, including their previous five South Zone titles.
Aisling Lum (#9), Rachel Yeo (#12) and Sophia Ang (#10) led SCGS with 13, 12 and 10 points respectively,
while Syrin Hashim (#9) had 11 points for Anderson.
Anderson had no answer against SCGS’ relentless defensive press right from tip-off, as the latter forced
six turnovers within the first three minutes and raced off to an 8–0 lead.
After Choo Jie Ying (#8) stopped the run with a good inbound play, Hashim (#9) added a jumper from the
charity stripe to reduce the deficit to four points. However, Lum (#9) and Ang (#10) responded with
baseline jumpers to help SCGS take an eight-point lead at the end of the quarter.
Despite a lacklustre shooting output in the second quarter, SCGS’ dominance on the offensive boards
gave them several second looks at the basket, allowing them to maintain their lead. They tallied 10
offensive rebounds in the quarter, en route to an impressive total of 42.

“This is our first time playing in the North Zone and we thought that it would be quite a challenge. We
were really prepared for the teams in the zone and our strategies were different for each school that we
played against,” said Tiana Ng (#5).
The SCGS captain added, “We’re really happy with the win because we’ve trained really hard. Along the
way, we grew and became stronger as a team, because we faced tougher opponents in the North Zone
than in the South Zone.”
