The Jx-Eneos Sunflowers maintained their dominance of Japan's women's basketball scene as they completed a three-peat with an 83-44 victory over the Denso Iris in the final of the All-Japan Championship at Yoyogi National Gymnasium on Sunday.
Superstar forward Ramu Tokashiki had 19 points, nine rebounds and a pair of blocks to lead the Sunflowers to their 20th Empress' Cup in the 82nd edition of the annual knockout tournament. Fellow inside player Yuka Mamiya racked up 14 points and 11 boards.
Jx-Eneos, which has four national team players, was merciless from the beginning and overwhelmed Denso both offensively and defensively. The Sunflowers built a 39-15 halftime lead and widened it in the second half.
