HANNAH JUMP IN NCAA TITLE GAME

Former England Under-16 cap Hannah Jump will feature in Sunday’s NCAA title game.

The 20-year-old had a cameo as Stanford University held on to gain a dramatic 66-65 victory in Friday’s Final Four semi-final against over South Carolina in San Antonio.

It was revenge for the Cardinal who lost to the same opponents at the same stage in 2017 when Great Britain guard Karlie Samuelson was among the vanquished.

Jump played two minutes off the bench late in the opening quarter, having contributed 17 points in Stanford’s 89-62 defeat of Missouri in the Sweet Sixteen round.

She, and her team, now will face Arizona who produced a stunning 69-59 upset of UConn.
