With 31 points in the first quarter, the most ever by a team in a Women’s World Cup, they got off to an explosive start. With a total of 7, they also had the most three-pointers made by Puerto Rico.
Not just for Puerto Rico, but also for their top player Arella Guirantes, who finished the first game of the competition with 26 points, 9 rebounds, and 8 assists, it was unquestionably a historic game. Given the performance, the player received an EFF rating of 36, a feat only one other player in the last two World Cups has accomplished.
