Atlantis University struggled in efficiency, shooting 18-for-76 from the field (23.7%) and 1-for-16 from three (6.3%). Those percentages reduced offensive consistency and forced the lineup to take contested two-point attempts. Free-throw shooting (13-of-30, 43.3%) further undercut scoring opportunities. To improve these numbers, the team could incorporate more shooting reps into their practices, emphasizing both form and consistency. Moreover, prioritizing shot selection and positioning can help players aim for higher-percentage shots. Collaborating on drills that refine these aspects will be crucial to improving the team's scoring efficiency.
Naire Lucas and Rosmery Franco led the box score with 15 points each. Lucas offered the most complete statistical profile, shooting 6-of-15 from the field and securing a game-leading 18 rebounds, 10 of which were offensive. This achievement was supported by the team's effort, with well-timed screens and precise passes creating the opportunities Lucas needed. Likewise, Franco's performance, highlighted by her 7-of-13 free throws and nine rebounds, was enhanced by teammates hustling to provide crucial assists and openings to drive into the lane. Their stats are a testament to their skill and to a team-first mindset that prioritizes shared success.
Amaris Ramos contributed ten points while logging heavy minutes (40), and Maria José Quiroga added eight points and three steals. These contributions from role-players maintained defensive activity and supported the team's rebounding strategy. To maximize their impact, role-players like Ramos and Quiroga could focus on anticipating passes and improving transition offense. By focusing on these areas, the team can better capitalize on defensive stops and create more fast-break opportunities, enhancing overall performance.
Atlantis won the offensive-rebounds battle in stretches, finishing with 17 offensive boards that created second-chance opportunities. The team also generated nine steals, indicating active hands and rotation awareness; however, 12 turnovers and low shooting percentages prevented those takeaways from translating to consistent scoring. Immediate priorities are clear: raise perimeter accuracy, improve free-throw efficiency, and convert offensive rebounds into higher-percentage putbacks. The commitment to rebounding and defensive activity gives the Atlanteans a tactical identity to refine rather than rebuild.
