Gilas Women’s Under-16 squad zoomed in the second half, burning Indonesia with a dominant 104-68 win to open their 2022 FIBA Women’s Under-16 Asian Championship-Division B campaign, Friday evening at Prince Hamzah Stadium in Amman, Jordan.

Meanwhile, her co-captain Kristan Yumul also had herself a game, firing 20 points built on six treys.
Ramos already tallied a double-double in the first half but Angelica Candra was also going toe-to-toe with her.
At the end of the first half, Gilas held a 45-39 lead.
Holding a 50-45 lead, Gilas went on a blistering 27-7 run to blow the game wide open. Ramos and Yumul with the latter scoring nine.
