Belgium has a thing for creating history. They did it again with an 83-65 win over France on Friday in the World Cup.
Emma Meesseman scored 16 points and grabbed 9 rebounds in the win, but she wasn’t the biggest contributor tonight. In fact, she only played 23 minutes and didn’t play much in the second half, presumably to rest her up before the semifinals which are tomorow.
It was point guard Julie Allemand who dished 13 assists, nine of them in the first half as the Belgians raced to a 53-31 halftime lead. Kim Mestdagh scored 18 of her 23 points in the first half as well.
