FIRST OLYMPIC TEAM WIN

The foursome of Destiny Castro, Kali Benavente, Felicia Borja and Dyonii Quitugua made Guam history Tuesday night, leading Guam to its first ever team victory in the Youth Olympic Games in Nanjing, China.

The 3×3 women’s basketball team beat Andorra 18-8 led by Castro’s 12 points and Borja’s five points. Andorra is the sixth smallest nation in Europe with a population of about 85,000.

“The girls played awesome (defense) and we knocked down shots,” coach Jin Han posted on his Facebook page. “Very happy for these girls.”

Earlier in the evening, Guam lost to Romania 18-8 after dropping to Belgium 22-7 on Monday night.

They still have the following games left this week in pool play: Indonesia, Chinese-Taipei, Egypt, Czech Republic, Thailand and United States.
