The Israel Women’s National Basketball Team disposed of Ireland 90-61 in a home game located in Riga, Latvia to sweep their pair of Eurobasket qualifiers. The blue-and-white came into the matchup after having lost to France and were looking to even up their record at 2-2 with games against Latvia and France remaining in February 2025. Jennie Simms led the way with a triple double, while this time around unlike the first game between the two teams Ireland respected the Israeli national anthem HaTikva and shook hands with the players and staff.

\nIsrael grabbed a 7 points, 13-6 lead to begin the game, but Ireland responded with 7 points in a row of its own, until Simms buried a triple as Sharon Drucker’s team took a 30-13 lead after the opening quarter. Simms continued scoring at will to start off the second period while Daniel Karsh added a 3-pointer of her own as Israel went into halftime holding a 46-31 advantage.
