All anybody is talking about following the win over Croatia is the inventive piece of skill shown by Enya Maguire. Maguire, who finished with 11 points, three rebounds, two steals and two assists in a match-winning performance, showed great trickery when she purposely rebounded the ball off an opponent’s back and setting herself up for the easiest of baskets.
EUROPEAN SEMI FINAL HERE WE COME!!!
