Viktoriia Ulianova carried Azerbaijan U16 Women through a decisive 78–65 victory over Bosnia and Herzegovina U16 Women, finishing with 34 points, 10 rebounds, 4 steals and 2 blocks across 40 minutes. The 13-point margin reflects a performance built on efficiency. Ulianova shot 13 of 21 from the field (62%) and a near-perfect 8 of 10 from the free-throw line, anchoring Azerbaijan's attack when Bosnia and Herzegovina mounted any resistance. Her only weakness came from three-point range—0 for 4—but she compensated by operating effectively inside and at the rim, where her size and footwork generated consistent looks. Four steals underscore her impact on the other end. Though the turnover count (2) and foul tally (3) sit cleanly in the margin of a dominant performance, it was her ability to finish possessions that closed out the game. With no further matches remaining in Division B for Azerbaijan in this competition, this dominant closing statement becomes her final mark in the campaign.

🏀 Final: Belgium U16 Women 85–51 Bosnia and Herzegovina U16 Women. Top: Eulalie Toussaint 10 PTS.
Merjem Karray is running hot in Piestany — 21 points per game with a 56 TIB Efficiency rating — and Bosnia and Herzegovina will lean heavily on her scoring punch when they face our young Cats this afternoon. Lily Jans has been the engine for Belgium, orchestrating the offence with 6 assists per game while chipping in 14 points herself. Her 42 TIB rating reflects steady, dependable play; Karray's 56 sits notably higher, a sign of where the gap lies heading in. This is the kind of individual duel that can shape the early momentum. If our Cats can make Karray work for her looks and get Jans into rhythm running the offence, Belgium has a pathway. Leave her free and Bosnia and Herzegovina gains a foothold fast. Tip-off in Piestany at the Diplomat Arena — watch it live.
You have reached the end.
