MANILA, Philippines—The Gilas Pilipinas Girls’ campaign in the FIBA U16 Women’s Asia Cup came to an end following an 82-50 defeat against China in the semifinal qualifiers.

Despite a heroic effort from Tiffany Reyes, who saved the team from early elimination with a game-winning shot against South Korea on Wednesday, Gilas Pilipinas was unable to maintain that momentum against a strong Chinese side.

The loss marked a disappointing finish for the team, halting their progress in the tournament. Fans and supporters will be hoping for a stronger showing in future competitions.
