With the five-team tournament coming to an end tonight, the win keeps Guyana firmly in contention for a top-two finish, one they must now secure tonight when they close their campaign against Jamaica.
Adams was nothing short of sensational. The Spain-based professional controlled the game on both ends of the floor, finishing with 19 points, 12 rebounds, and 10 assists, becoming the first player of the tournament to register a triple-double.
Her court vision, rebounding presence, and leadership were on full display as she orchestrated Guyana’s offense with remarkable composure.
Every time Adams touched the ball, the home crowd buzzed with anticipation, erupting with each dish, block, or put-back. Her all-around brilliance set the tone for Guyana’s most complete performance of the championship.
Backed by a buoyant and electrifying crowd that turned the venue into a cauldron of noise, Guyana came out blazing from jump ball.
Every defensive stop and fast-break finish sent fans into a frenzy as the host nation played with pace, aggression, and total control.
The fireworks started early behind the explosive Anaya Mc David, whose slashing drives and confident finishing saw her pour in 24 points on an efficient 12-of-17 shooting.
Mc David attacked the rim relentlessly, her 75 percent scoring clip highlighting Guyana’s sharp ball movement and their ability to carve up Suriname’s defense.
Matching her brilliance was Amisha Ramlall, who shot the lights out with 25 points on 10-of-15 shooting, including an impressive 85.7 percent conversion inside.
In the paint, Ruth Adams dominated with a bruising 19-point, 13-rebound double-double, muscling her way to second-chance baskets and controlling the glass at both ends.
Completing the starting unit’s scoring spree was Ashna Ramlall, who added 12 points on an efficient 6-of-10 shooting, staying aggressive and capitalizing on defensive breakdowns.
All five starters scored in double figures, combining for a stunning 99 of Guyana’s 106 points, underscoring the team’s chemistry, spacing, and relentless offensive pressure.
But Guyana’s dominance was not limited to scoring. Defensively, they were suffocating.
Suriname was held to 15-of-64 shooting (23.4%), as Guyana clogged passing lanes, jumped screens, and contested every shot.
Brown and Adams controlled the boards, while Mc David and the Ramlall sisters applied constant pressure on the perimeter, forcing hurried decisions and turnovers.
By halftime, Suriname was already struggling to keep pace. By the final whistle, Guyana had delivered a statement; one fueled equally by execution and the deafening roar of the home supporters.
Now, attention shifts to tonight’s crucial showdown against Jamaica. With the tournament’s top two spots still up for grabs, Guyana will need another inspired performance. A win would cement their place among the leaders and cap off a memorable run on home soil.
