ISV trounce Guyana on night two of Women’s CBC

November 14 2025

Guyana’s fairytale championship start came crashing down in spectacular fashion on Thursday night, as the Virgin Islands delivered a crushing 78-54 defeat that exposed the hosts’ defensive vulnerabilities and offensive impotence at the Cliff Anderson Sports Hall.

Joy Adams battled valiantly with a commanding 13 points and 15 rebounds, yet her heroic efforts proved hopelessly insufficient against the Virgin Islands’ relentless two-way assault that suffocated Guyana from the opening tip.

The Virgin Islands seized control from jump ball, unleashing a suffocating defensive stranglehold that forced Guyana into a catastrophic 27 turnovers, many converted into devastating fast-break points that consistently shifted momentum decisively in the visitors’ favor.

Anisha George orchestrated an offensive masterclass with a dominant 23-point explosion on a near-perfect 10-of-12 shooting display, while guard Taylor Jones added another 18 points including four three-pointers that repeatedly halted Guyana’s desperately struggling comeback bids. Guyana’s once-fluent offensive rhythm completely evaporated, as the hosts shot an abysmal 29.8% from the field and a nightmarish 3-of-27 from three-point range; a stunning 11% conversion rate that epitomized their offensive collapse.

Ruth Adams contributed 16 points and six rebounds, while Anaya McDavid added 12 points and seven boards, but their individual brilliance paled against the Virgin Islands’ comprehensive team dominance that controlled every aspect of the contest.
Guyana now faces a make-or-break championship crossroads with two critical matches remaining in the round-robin format, beginning with a desperate matchup against Suriname tomorrow followed by a monumental clash against regional powerhouse Jamaica on Sunday.
