In their opener, Canada got off to a slow start and never quite recovered en route to an 85-79 loss to Slovakia. The Slovakians raced to 13-2 lead and extended their margin to 24-17 after the opening quarter, 42-31 at the half and 63-58 after 30 minutes. Canada made it close on a number of occasions and even went ahead midway through the third period, only to see Slovakia answer with runs of its own and retake significant leads. After a pair of Laurelle Weigl free throws pulled Canada to within one, at 28-27, four minutes into the second quarter, the Slovaks ended the frame on a 14-4 run, holding the Canadian side to four points in the final six minutes. Down by 11 at the break, the Canadians came out of the locker room firing and finally tied the affair at 45-45 with 6:18 left in the third on a hard drive to the basket by Laval guard Chanelle St-Amour of Quebec City. Two minutes later, Canada took its first lead of the day when a long jumper by Vermont guard Courtney Pilypaitis of Ottawa made it 51-49. Slovakia once again had an answer, however, and finished the period on a 14-7 run. The Europeans got off to a hot start in the fourth and enjoyed a comfortable cushion the rest of the way. A pair of last-minute treys by Cape Breton guard Kelsey Hodgson of Fredericton and Michigan forward Kalisha Keane made it a closer result. “It was a frustrating game. We played in spurts. We spent the game coming back and dying down and coming back and dying down again,” said Kelsey Hodgson. “It’s hard because we’ve only been together as a group for a few days so we don’t know each other that well on the court. We should have a better feel after today.” Co-coach Deb Huband said “we had a number of miscues both offensively and defensively. You have to expect that, you can’t expect to play your best basketball in your first game. We were too individual offensively. That comes with getting to know your teammates, it doesn’t happen overnight.” Katarina Tetemondova paced Slovakia with 22 on 9-13 from the floor, 4-7 from the line, 5 boards and 3 steals. Eva Kmetova added 14 on 7-13 from the floor and 4 boards. Patricia Cizmarova added 11 on 3-4 from the floor, 5-5 from the line and 6 boards. Romana Vynuchalova scored 9 on 4-10 from the floor and 8 boards. Dasa Krasnockova added 8 on 2-3 from the arc. Bibiana Kalafutova scored 8 on 3-6 from the floor and 2-4 from the line.

Slovakia hit 33-61 from the floor, 2-11 (.180) from the arc and 13-22 (.590) from the line, while garnering 41 boards, including 12 on the offensive glass, 10 assists, 16 turnovers, 11 steals, 5 blocks and 22 fouls. Kelsey Hodgson paced Canada with 20 on 4-8 from the floor, 3-8 from the arc and 3-3 from the line. Kalisha Keane added 14 on 4-7 from the floor, 1-3 from the arc, 3-3 from the line and 7 boards.

Canada dropped its second straight and fell out of medal contention with a 90-78 loss to Japan. Canada fell behind early and weren’t able to recover. Down 17-8 late in the first quarter, Canada trailed 19-14 after 10 minutes, 44-34 at the half and 69-55 after three periods. Canada took its only lead of the match four minutes into the second quarter when a Kelsey Hodgson three-pointer made it 29-27, but the Japanese responded with a 17-5 run to close the half hand open a 10-point gap at the break. The Canadians had no response for their rivals’ quickness and relentless three-point shooting. They also succumbed to Japan’s pressure, repeatedly coughing up the ball. “They hurt us where we thought they could hurt us. We struggled with their quickness and pressure in the backcourt,” said co-coach Huband. “We weren’t able to play to our own strengths and use our size advantage in the paint.” Co-coach Linda Marquis added that “we didn’t adjust on defence. We didn’t read them well and didn’t recognize the patterns.” Miki Fuji paced Japan with 24 on 2-6 from the floor, 5-11 from the arc, 5-6 from the line and 6 boards.
