Womens team suffers home defeat
Monday, November 20, 2006

In one of their preparations for the 2006-2007 LAPPRISA basketball tournament, the Bloomfield Girls Basketball Team fall in an exhibition matchup against Southville International School, 25-19 at the Bloomfield Covered Court.

The cagebelles trailed throughout the contest by double-figures as Southville capitalized on a number of turnovers by the home squad and took a 20-12 halftime lead.

However, by the final quarter, Bloomfield managed to reduced the deficit as defense led to baskets mostly by MC Sundian, the team's leading scorer. But with time winding down, Southville was able to protect their lead to secure the win.

Despite the loss, head coach Weng Carballo stressed that the game was more of trying to learn the team's weaknesses in order to prepare them for the upcoming tournament.

The annual LAPPRISA sports event starts on November 25th at the University of Perpetual Help System-Dalta campus.
