Kaieteur Sports – Guyana’s women’s basketball team picked up their first win at the FIBA Women’s AmeriCup 2027 Centrobasket Qualifiers in Managua, Nicaragua, producing a determined second-half comeback to defeat the Bahamas 66-57 in yesterday’s classification game.

Led by a combined 55 points from captain Joy Adams, Ruth Adams and Anaya Mc David, the Guyanese women showed tremendous resilience to overturn a 12-point deficit and secure their only victory of the tournament after several heartbreaking defeats.

The result saw Guyana finish above the Bahamas in the final standings, providing a fitting reward for a side that consistently demonstrated grit and competitiveness despite falling on the wrong side of several close contests throughout the week.
