The Gangurrus women\u2019s team have once again stamped their authority on the Asian region, claiming a sixth FIBA 3×3 Asia Cup title with an 18-9 win over the Philippines in Singapore.<\/p>\n
The gold medal caps off another dominant campaign for Australia, who went unbeaten across the tournament and further cemented their standing as the benchmark program in Asia.<\/p>\n
