Israel U20 Women Reach First EuroBasket Final

Israel's under-20 women's basketball team beat Belgium 78-69 Saturday night in the FIBA U20 Women's EuroBasket semifinal, sending the program to its first final at the tournament. Official game data listed Maayan Cohen with 26 points, including eight three-pointers, a mark FIBA said tied the competition's single-game three-point record. Israel trailed early, then took control with a 20-5 second quarter and finished ahead by nine. The result is a proud Israeli sports milestone, with young athletes carrying the blue-and-white flag onto a European stage after an already historic semifinal run.
