Chinese Taipei National University Women’s Basketball Camp
For the past week and a half Monash
University proudly hosted the Chinese
Taipei National University Women’s Basketball Camp on its
Clayton Campus. The camp consisted of a rigorous training program in addition
to playing against local association clubs.
The highlight of their camp was the
showdown against the Monash University All-Stars team on the 23rd January.
The much anticipated game did not disappoint as the Chinese Taipei girl put on
an unbelievable 3-point shooting display. Despite the Monash All-Stars’ best
efforts, the Chinese Taipei team were unrelenting and ran away with a 91-50
win. Their efforts during the camp clearly paid dividends with such a dominant
performance as they led from beginning to end.
After the conclusion of the match,
Monash hosted a function where the CEO of Australian University Sports (AUS)
Don Knapp and TeamMONASH Director Martin Doulton thanked the teams for playing
a basketball match of the highest order in such hot conditions and applauded
Monash for organising such a great event.
In conjunction with AUS, Monash
University was pleased to assist the newly formed partnership between AUS and
the Chinese Taipei University Sports
Federation. With the World Summer University
Games to be held in Taipei later this year, AUS and the Chinese Taipei University Sports Federation
formed an agreement to further the cultural exchange between the two in the
lead up to the games. As such, the Chinese Taipei team were
given the opportunity to use Monash University’s great facilities and sporting
programs.
Monash University hopes the
relationship with the Chinese
Taipei University Sports Federation will allow for further opportunities
for students to experience the cultural and sporting diversity on offer.
