managed two rebounds and an assist in limited action against a powerful Chinese squad, as the Australian National Team suffered its first loss at the 2021 FIBA Asia Cup in Amman, Jordan on Wednesday.
Shelley, a 5-9 guard from Moe, Australia, saw more than 10 minutes of playing time in the 82-64 loss to China. She missed her lone three-point attempt in the game.
China took control early in the first quarter but a buzzer-beater by the Opals supplied some momentum heading to the second quarter. Trailing 25-19 at the end of the first period, Australia took a second-quarter lead with a stifling defense for the first seven minutes of the period.
