Today, June 18, the Ukrainian women's 3x3 basketball team kicked off their participation in the second stage of the Women's Series taking place in Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia.

The first opponents for the Ukrainian players were the German team, who put up a strong fight. However, the Ukrainian athletes proved to be more successful.

The Germans took an early lead, establishing a +4 point advantage. Despite their solid performance in both defense and offense, the Ukrainians gradually closed the gap.

Angelika Lyashko made the winning shot with a foul, successfully converting free throws with 20 seconds left, giving Ukraine its first lead in the match (15:13).

In the remaining time, Germany attempted to come back, but an airball and a steal by Miriam Uro-Nile secured the victory for the Ukrainian team.
