FBA secured a crucial 57-37 victory over CSA in the Zone 3 Qualifiers. The full score tells the story of FBA's dominance, but the game was also shaped significantly by its top performers on both sides.
In FBA, Yasmine Touré was the standout scorer, leading her team with 20 points. Her scoring output provided the backbone of FBA's offence, enabling her side to build and maintain a comfortable margin.
While the boxscore lists her under "Game Leaders – Points, "what is clear is that Touré's contribution was critical to FBA posting a solid offensive number, particularly given the team's overall field goal percentage hovered at a modest 35.7 % (2-pt FG) and only 22.7 % from three-point range. Her individual efficiency thus stood out in a contest where shots were not falling easily for either team.
On the CSA side, the summary lists Kesia Andreas Kom Yagou as the top performer with 11 in the efficiency column. While the publicly visible summary does not explicitly list her point total in the "Points" leader slot, her highlighting suggests she was one of CSA's more productive players. Given CSA's total of just 37 points, any double-figure individual scoring would have been a major portion of her team's output.
CSA struggled throughout, especially in the second quarter, where they managed only five points, and they never recovered the pace after that.
Breaking the game down by quarter: FBA started with a 16-17 deficit after the first quarter, but flipped the script in the second quarter by outscoring CSA 19-5. They maintained the momentum through the third (15-7) and fourth (7-8) quarters.
This means that FBA's scoring in the middle two quarters created a clear separation, and during that run, Yasmine Touré would have been heavily involved. For CSA, no quarter provided the kind of breakthrough they needed, and their low scoring in the second quarter, in particular, put them in a hole.
It's worth noting other aspects of the game: FBA's field goal conversion was 35.7% on two-pointers and a meagre 10% on three-pointers. Free-throw shooting was relatively better at 50%.
These numbers suggest that FBA relied more on work inside, and perhaps on second-chance or transition points, rather than on outside shooting. CSA's scoring woes are underscored by their inability to match the pace, and they never got their offence going. The figures emphasise how a single potent scorer (like Touré) can make a big difference in a game where overall efficiencies are low.
In this contest, the lesson is clear: while both teams struggled with shooting efficiency, FBA had the advantage of a focal scorer who delivered when the team needed it most. In contrast, CSA lacked that consistent single-player breakout, and their team scoring remained too low to challenge.
As the Qualifiers progress, performances like Touré's will be key for teams aiming to advance. At the same time, CSA will need to find either a secondary scorer or elevate their primary option if they hope to compete.
Moving forward in the tournament, keep an eye on which players step up: a 20-point output in a low-efficiency game stands out. For CSA, someone will need to surpass Yasmine Touré's mark if they are to turn the tide in this group.
