Armenia beat Moldova, 71-64
The Armenian women’s national basketball team is two-for-two entering today’s third round of the FIBA Women’s Division C European Championship held in Yerevan.
On Tuesday the home team beat Moldova 71-64, led for the second day by Amanda Jackson, who had a “double-double” Tuesday, as the American netted 25 points, while also pulling down 11 rebounds. California State University Bakersfield’s Christine Kepenikian added 20 points.
Armenia trailed 39-28 at the half, but rallied behind another show of strong fan support to outscore the Moldovans 17-9 in the third quarter and 26-16 in the fourth.
The win puts Armenia at the top of Group A (seven teams make up two groups) going into today’s 7 p.m. contest against Andorra, who whipped Gibraltar 70-45 Tuesday. In the other game of Day 2, it was Scotland over Wales 86-41.
