SEMASHUR Stages Massive Second-Half Surge to Topple SSP in KBKSBP NATIONAL Finals 2026

## SEMASHUR Overcomes Early Deficit to Secure Victory The atmosphere was electric at Karisma Arena this Friday as Sekolah Seri Puteri (SSP) faced off against SMS Hulu Selangor (SEMASHUR) in the KBKSBP 2026 tournament. SSP started with purpose, establishing a disciplined defensive presence that saw them lead 12-8 after the first quarter. Their momentum continued into the second period, holding a narrow advantage despite a slight push from the visiting squad, heading into the halftime break with the score tied closely in the context of the overall game flow. ## The Third-Quarter Turning Point The game shifted dramatically in the third quarter when SEMASHUR erupted for 24 points while stifling SSP’s offense to just 6. This pivotal ten-minute stretch proved to be the difference-maker, as SEMASHUR turned a tight contest into a double-digit cushion. Led by Aleeya Imani Binti Mohd Shahrin, who poured in a game-high 19 points, and Aleya Elyna Binti Abi Nubli Akrami with 15, SEMASHUR dismantled the SSP defensive shell with precision transition play and high-percentage shooting. ## Standout Efforts and Final Stand Despite the deficit, SSP fought back valiantly in the final frame, outscoring their opponents 19-16. Audy Maisarah Binti Huzaimi was a standout for SSP, contributing a well-rounded stat line of 14 points, 5 rebounds, and 4 assists, while Ayra Imani Binti Mohd Shahrul Amran narrowly missed a double-double with 10 points and 9 boards. However, the rebounding dominance of Aisyah Afiqah Ariana Binti Tajul Azwa, who controlled the glass with 11 rebounds, ensured that SEMASHUR maintained control of the tempo. Ultimately, SEMASHUR’s explosive third quarter proved too much to overcome, securing them a hard-fought 59-46 victory in this exciting KBKSBP matchup.
