Coach Precious Mthembu praised the team for their effort but noted they struggled to make the most of turnovers and missed crucial scoring chances.<\/p>\n
\u201cOur attacking duo carried a heavy load, and the fatigue was visible on the court,\u201d she said. \u201cWhile no one enjoys losing, we will take the lessons this match has given us. I am incredibly proud of my players, they have represented themselves and SA admirably.\u201d<\/p>\n
