For the first time in 12 years, the Women’s Japan Basketball League has a champion that isn’t the Eneos Sunflowers.
The Toyota Antelopes ended the Sunflowers’ long reign by completing a sweep of the WJBL Finals with a 70-60 win in Game 2 at Tokyo’s Yoyogi National Gymnasium No. 2 on Sunday night.
“We’ve been chasing Eneos for the last 10 years and now we’ve done it,” Toyota guard and captain Naho Miyoshi said after her team’s victory in the best-of-three series.
