The Japan women¡¯s national team dominated at both ends of the floor and annihilated Taiwan 96-66 in an exhibition game at Arena Tachikawa Tachihi on Friday night.
Evelyn Mawuli knocked down 5 of 6 3-point shots en route to a team-high 19 points for the home squad. The 23-year-old small forward, who also grabbed seven rebounds coming off the bench, was named the game¡¯s Most Valuable Player.
¡°I don¡¯t know what to really say (about getting the spotlight), but our senior players helped me out so I was able to do what I did,¡± Mawuli said after the game. ¡°And that¡¯s why I was able to make those 3s.¡±
