Final recap

Greece U18 Women beat Great Britain U18 Women 68–63

Greece held our GB side off in a five-point finish at FIBA U18 Women's EuroBasket Division B, taking a 68–63 victory after a fourth-quarter blitz that turned a ten-point deficit into a one-possession game inside the final two minutes. The match swung repeatedly — 14 lead changes and five ties before Greece found their rhythm when it mattered most. Our GB team controlled the second half until the third quarter ended at 44–54 in their favour; then Greece ripped off a 12-0 run from 44–54 to 56–54 early in the fourth, seizing momentum they would not relinquish. Bo Guttormsdottir Frost led our effort with 15 points on 5/10 shooting, 7 rebounds and four blocks, whilst Isey Guttormsdottir-Frost orchestrated the offence with 12 points and six assists across 5/13 from the floor. Ophelia Larder-Lee finished 3/5 for 9 points, a bright spot in a close contest where our shooting failed to sustain the lead we built. Apostolia Zormpala carried Greece, scoring 25 points on 10/13 free throws and 1/2 from three, grinding the possession game when it counted. Our GB side host North Macedonia on Sunday. The margin is thin; the next match will tell whether this close loss stings or strengthens.
