Shenzhen, China – Amber Moore had an outstanding game scoring 20 points on 6-of 13 shooting with three 3-pointers and grabbed 8 rebounds to lead the NetScouts Basketball USA Women’s All-Stars to a 85-60 win over China to take the championship of the Shenzhen Tournament. Camille Buckley scored 13, Amy Kame 10, and Joy Burke had a double-double with 10 and 10.
The USA held China to 20-of-59 (34%) from floor, China attempted 31 threes and made 7. USA forced 24 TO’s on 16 steals and the USA out rebounded China 47-26.
Ariel Thomas and Alisha Filmore forced six Chinese turnovers in a 3rd period run that allowed the Americans to stretch their lead to 21 after three. Joy Burke and Molly Schlemer had 10 offensive boards between them and despite shooting 47 percent from the floor, the USA pulled down 20 offensive rebounds and assisted on 19 of 30 FG’s.
NetScouts Basketball ISA All-Stars Head Coach Chris Denker: “China played very hard and the crowd was loud in their support of their team but our squad weathered some runs and played outstanding defense which jump started our running game. Amber shot the ball extremely well but also had some beautiful passes. Our guards really played well as a group, A.T. had her best game, Ari pitched in 5 assists, Alisha was all over the floor on defense and Amy does so many of the little things to help you win…”
“It was a great night for the ladies, after the game and awards ceremony the fans spilled onto the floor to have photos taken with the players. Our team signed autographs and posed for photos for 20-30 minutes after the game. All four teams also took a group picture together which was cool as well.”

Congrats Alisha. Nobody like to play defense but no championship team wins without it. If I was a pro scout I would take a real look at you. You could change a low scoring game in a heartbeat! Felix and Maggie
