People 's Republic of China Women NT hold off Puerto Rico Women NT 75–72 in a nail-biter

Trinity San Antonio finished with 24 points, 9 rebounds and 7 assists on 8-of-14 shooting, but it was not enough to keep Puerto Rico Women NT alive in World Cup qualification. They fell 75–72 at home to People's Republic of China Women NT, a three-point defeat that ended their campaign in the qualification stage. San Antonio's shooting was efficient across the board — she made 2 of 3 three-pointers and 6 of 7 free throws, and added 5 steals in 32 minutes. Her 7 assists meant she was threading play as well as scoring, a near-complete performance. The margin, though, was unforgiving: one possession decided it, and San Antonio's individual brilliance could not bridge the gap. For Puerto Rico, qualification to the quarter-finals is now complete, their run in this competition over. San Antonio's night was a highlight amid the exit, a reminder of the level she can reach — but one game in this format, no matter the personal stat line, is not enough to overturn a final score.
