July 16th, 2016
The British Virgin Islands (BVI) held off Antigua and Barbuda for a 44-38 win in the third place playoff of the Caribbean Basketball Confederation (CBC) female under-16 championship on Saturday evening at the Cliff Anderson Sports Hall in Georgetown, Guyana.

BVI's defence was impeccable and held the Antiguan offence to single-digit scores in the first three-quarters of the game.

Antigua outscored BVI in the final period 16-14 and in the second half 24-18 but were too far down to pull off the win.

Shauliqua Fahie scored more than half of BVI's points with 25 to lead her squad to the win. She also had nine rebounds and five steals to help BVI maintain their advantage throughout the course of the game.

Timna Philip had a double-double for Antigua with 14 points and 13 rebounds in the loss while Britnay Gore had nine points and 16 rebounds.
