KUALA LUMPUR: The SEA Games-bound women cagers suffered a demoralising defeat in their first real test at the Maba Malaysia Basketball Invitational tournament when they were outmatched 58-77 by Taiwanese professional side Chunghwa Telecom at the Maba Stadium.

Going into the half-time break with a slender two-point lead, poor shooting in the second half allowed Chunghwa to gain dominance yesterday.
