CAPE MAY, N.J. - Coast Guard Petty Officer 3rd Class Syreeta Bromfield-Kemp, a yeoman at Coast Guard Training Center Cape May, led the ALL-Navy Women's Basketball Team to victory in the 2009 Armed Forces Men's and Women's Basketball Championships in Millington, Tenn., May 17, 2009. 

Bromfield-Kemp, the team captain, led the ALL-Navy Women's team to gold with 98 points, 73 rebounds, and 13 assists for the week. She pushed her teammates hard to win their second gold medal in two years.

"We really did a gut check, and everybody brought something to the games; I'm so proud of the team," Bromfield-Kemp said. "It was awesome this week. It was kind of ruff when we started out, but I think we finally realized we could do it so we came together and we won. It feels so good to get my second gold. Woo!"

The ALL-Navy Women's Basketball Team dominated the championship series with a team total of 385 points, 231 rebounds, and 65 percent free-throw average.

Bromfield-Kemp is a native of Kingston, Jamaica.
