Both Canada and Australia’s women’s basketball teams will look to get back on track when they face each other in the second game of group play at the Paris Olympics.
Team Canada fell to the host nation France 75-54 on Monday to open Olympic group play. Canada’s top performer was Shay Colley, who finished with 11 points and six assists, while Los Angeles Sparks’ Kia Nurse chipped in 11 points. Bridget Carleton from the Minnesota Lynx added eight points and eight rebounds.
With the home crowd behind them, France went on a 22-0 run in the second quarter and Canada wasn’t able to respond.
Canada will look for redemption when they face Australia, who was upset by Nigeria in their first game. WNBA player Alanna Smith led the Opals with 15 points and Sami Whitcomb added 13. This was Nigeria’s first win at the Olympics since 2004.
