They registered 23 baskets to four in the second quarter, stretching their lead to 39-9 at the break.<\/p>\n<p>With little in the way of resistance coming from the Desert Jewels in the third quarter, the Queens took their tally to 58-17 before finishing the fourth quarter with 77 to 25 baskets.<\/p>\n<p>Malawi head coach Peace Kaluwa-Chawinga was naturally pleased with her unbeaten team&#8217;s performance.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe players are responding well to the new tactics, and today they have shown it.
