However, it was double celebration for Trinity Baptiste who barely missed for Lebanon on a great day for them. She went 5 of 6 from the floor and recorded a super smart 16 points, 7 rebounds and 4 assists. Meanwhile her teammate Rebecca Akl chose a good time to have her most influential outing of the competition with a fine 27 points, 5 rebounds and 4 assists.

Pilipinas standout Jack Animam had done her best to propel her side to what would have been their greatest ever night by offering up a nice double-double of 14 points and 11 rebounds.
