Canada evened its record at (1-1) in pool play by clipping the Czech Republic 79-71 on a masterful performance by point guard Shayeann Day-Wilson.

Canada closed out pool play with an 88-62 pasting at the hands of Mali after trailing 27-15, 48-30 and 62-47 at the quarters. Canada was outquicked at every position and committed a host of sloppy turnovers throughout the match. “Today was incredibly difficult,” said coach Fabian McKenzie. “They out-rebounded us, out-hustled us and out-worked us in every category and made things very difficult for us. … We struggled turning the ball over and getting into a rhythm.” Kamie Elisabeth Dabou paced Mali with 18 on 3-4 from the floor, 4-8 from the arc, 4 boards, 2 assists, 3 steals and blocks.

Canada finished 1-2 (4th) in pool D play.
In the round of 16, Canada stunned undefeated pool C winner France 79-72. Canada led 20-12 after one quarter. France led 40-33 at the half and by as many as 11 in the third quarter before Canada rallied behind a pair of treys from Rebecca Demeke to take a 59-53 lead after three quarters. But France opened the fourth quarter with a 10-2 run as Canada’s old nemeses – post defence and defensive boxouts – resurfaced. Tara Wallack knotted the score at 63 with a pair of free throws and then Demeke and Rosalie Mercille nailed treys and Yvonne Ejim drove for a baseline layup as Canada took a 71-67 lead. Oumou Diarisso countered with a driving layup for France. Shayeann Day-Wilson hit a 15-foot pullup for Canada and Leila Lacan notched a trey for France, leaving Canada with a slim 73-72 lead with just over two minutes to play. Lemyah Hylton notched a driving, spinning layup that gave Canada a 75-72 lead and then both teams appeared to panic, committing unforced turnovers and missing bunny layups, before Canada iced it with four free throws, including two by Ejim and singletons by Demeke and Day-Wilson. “Today was a huge team win for us,” said coach Fabian McKenzie. “The best basketball we have played so far in the tournament. The girls played extremely hard on defence and then on offence. We shared the ball and played connected together. … Rebecca was a big star for us today, Tara Wallack was the unsung hero, and Lemyah Hylton came out and scored double digits. Just a total team effort.” Tara Wallack said “we had a great team win today and everyone stepped up and did their part and I’m just so proud of my team.” Rebecca Demeke paced Canada with 19 on 0-1 from the floor, 6-8 from the arc, 1-2 from the line and 3 boards. Tara Wallack added 16 on 4-7 from the floor, 2-2 from the arc, 2-3 from the line, 7 boards, 4 assists and 4 steals. Lemyah Hylton notched 14 on 7-13 from the floor, 0-1 from the arc, 4 boards and 2 steals.

In the quarterfinals, Canada fell 72-61 to Australia after relinquishing a 12-point lead in the second half. Australia led 9-1 early and 19-12 after one quarter. The score was knotted at 30 at the half. Canada led 49-43 after three quarters and 54-51 with four minutes to play. But Australia took command with an 11-0 run as Canada continued to demonstrate its inability to defend the paint, particularly on backdoor cuts. Australia repeatedly broke down Canada off the dribble and capitalized frequently on indifferent Canadian defensive transitions. “We started off slow but battled back really hard. I’m really proud of the effort from the girls,” said coach Fabian McKenzie. Isaline Alexander said “it was a tough battle but we did all we could. We just made a few mistakes and couldn’t get back from it.” Nyadiew Puoch paced Australia with 25 on 6-16 from the floor, 3-5 from the arc, 4-6 from the line, 7 boards and 3 steals.

Australia (coached by David Herbert, assisted by Keegan Crawford and Kristen Veal) hit 24-70 (.343) overall, 17-43 (.395) from the floor, 7-27 (.259) from the arc and 17-23 (.739) from the line, while garnering 44 boards, including 10 on the offensive glass, 17 assists, 16 fouls, 15 turnovers, 13 steals and 6 blocks.

In the 5-8th playoff, Canada dispatched Russia 66-58. Despite being held scoreless for the game’s opening three minutes, Canada led 15-11 after one quarter, largely on aggressive takes by point guard Shayeann Day-Wilson. But Russia began effectively breaking down Canada off the dribble and moved ahead 40-35 at the half on late treys by Olesia Tumanova and Iana Pashkovskaia. Canada shored up its defence in the third quarter as rarely-used reserve Deja Lee came off the bench and significantly elevated the defensive intensity, hounding the Russians into several miscues, as Canada took a 50-44 lead after three quarters, while holding Russia scoreless over the final 6:45 of the frame. Lee’s ball pressure continued to disrupt the Russian attack as Canada maintained a comfortable margin through the final buzzer, icing the win with a raft of free throws by Day-Wilson and a trey from Emma Koabel down the stretch. “We showed great resilience and effort in the second half and battled back to win the game,” coach Fabian McKenzie said. “Just a good overall effort in the second half to win the game.” McKenzie offered little in the way of an explanation for why he’d utilized Lee so rarely in the tournament but said she “was our player of the game – she had 10 rebounds and great defensive effort. Isaline Alexander was a real big defensive presence as well.” Lee said “I gave it my all today and I’m proud of the way I played on defense and I feel like I helped my team get energy on offense.” Shayeann Day-Wilson paced Canada with 22 on 7-13 from the floor, 1-5 from the arc, 5-7 from the line, 11 boards and 2 assists. Tara Wallack added 10 on 2-10 from the floor, 1-1 from the arc, 3-4 from the line, 9 boards and 2 blocks. Emma Koabel notched 10 on 2-7 from the floor, 2-6 from the arc, 2 boards and 2 steals.
