BAS 3X3 Open - Feature on The Straits Times

SINGAPORE - After missing out on the 2019 SEA Games, national basketballer Pauline Ang and the rest of the women's team are eager to make their return to the regional competition this year in Hanoi.

The last time the women's team featured at the biennial competition was at the 2017 edition in Kuala Lumpur, when they finished fifth out of seven sides.

"It's that kind of feeling where you finally get recognised, that your hard work has paid off as a team and you've achieved your goal," said the 28-year-old, who was part of the team in 2017.

"We like to see our neighbouring countries, what the standard is and how we are able to match up with our counterparts."

After a tough two years that have been disrupted by the pandemic, the national cagers are hoping to make up for lost time and make the most of opportunities to compete as they gear up for the SEA Games.
