Colonia, Yap – Mekeli Wesley made his tournament debut for Guam, but the offense got off to a slow start against the 2014 Micro Games hosts in Pohnpei. Guam came away victorious 81-61 as they stay unbeaten (3-0) in pool play.
Guam’s offense seemed stuck in the mud after the tip, but a half-court buzzer beater from Billy Belger kept Guam ahead 17-10 against the gritty Pohnpeians.
Wesley’s first touch resulted in a bucket for Guam after checking three minutes into the game, and he added three more scores in the 2nd as Guam kept a 37-22 lead at the half.
The offense found it’s rhythm in the second half as they reached their highest point total in the Micro Games thus far at 81.

Ashley Samaniego and the UCLA Bruins made it to the NCAA Women’s Final Four, before losing to eventual champions UConn.
The 2007 Simon Sanchez graduate is in his first year with the Bruins women’s basketball team as the Director of Athletic Performance. This after years at California State University, Northridge in the same capacity.
Coach Ash must be bringing some goodness to the Bruins as UCLA is currently ranked #1 in the country and earned its first No. 1 seed in the NCAA Tournament in program history.
