Recently crowned Ghana Basketball Awards Female Most Valuable Player of the Year Matilda Gordon is set to feature in her first game for Braves of Customs in the Accra Basketball League Women’s Division since receiving the top award.
The tall Forward walked away on the big night with top honors in the category and Tertiary category, beating out Osseni Mahmoudath ofValley View University and Yayra Kluiboto of University of Cape-Coast.
Gordon’s impeccable form for the year has seen her lead Accra Polytechnic to the GHAPSA (Ghana Polytechnics Sports Association) Games Basketball competition and Braves to win last season’s league title.
With this year’s competition rounding up, Braves is on course to successfully defend its title as it sits atop the division’s standings with 16 points having gone unbeaten in eight games played thus far. Her play with frontcourt partner Gloria Gyampoh has made the side a two way problem for opponents.
Braves have scored the most points (410) but conceded the least points (217) behind the duo’s stifling defense.
Fourth placed Galaxy will play bottom ranked Navy in the final game of the round. In eight games this season, Navy is yet to win a game.
