      Shortly before the start of the tournament, Mali announced that it was unable to travel to Brno “due to visa issues.” FIBA compelled Mali to forfeit its pool games.

      In their opener, Canada clubbed Portugal 88-49. Canada blistered the nets from the arc in the opening frame, hitting five treys, including a trio by Syla Swords, as they took a 27-16 lead. Portugal rallied with its quickness forcing Canadian turnovers as Canada briefly struggled to resolve a zone. But the Canadians patiently worked the ball for buckets in the paint, while scoring in transition, as they built their lead to 16 on a 9-0 run capped by a Cearah Parchment trey and an Agot Makeer runner. With Mila Holloway hitting a trey at the buzzer, Canada took a 43-37 lead into the lockers. A pair of inside feeds to Avery Howell, and another barrage of treys, including a trio by Olivia Leung, and singletons by Howell, Makeer, Nydieng Yiech and Holloway, buried Portugal faint hopes as Canada opened the second half with a 21-0 run and extended their lead to 38.

      Canada improved to (2-0) by dusting Nigeria 113-42. Despite a sluggish start, Canada broke to a 13-0 lead on a pair of treys by Agot Makeer and a singleton by Jasmine Bascoe. Canada’s defence held Nigeria without a field goal for nearly nine minutes, while forcing a series of turnovers for runout layups as Canada took a 23-5 lead after one quarter.

Cearah Parchment and Holloway nailed treys as Canada opened the second frame with a 9-1 run. Although Howell added a pair from the arc and while their ball movement generated good looks in the paint, they repeatedly missed bunny layups as China trimmed the margin to 55-26 at the half. Canada struggled to handle offensive transitions as China rallied within 27 midway through the third quarter. But with Makeer, Yiech and Parchment dominating the offensive glass, Canada resumed its three-point barrage, including a pair of treys from Swords, Canada rebuilt its lead to 83-39 heading into the final frame.

      In the round of 16, Canada rolled to a lethargic 70-58 win over South Korea. The South Koreans took an early 13-6 lead by capitalizing on Canadian turnovers and draining treys, including a pair by Hyun Jeong. But Canada responded with a 15-0 run as Agot Makeer came off the bench to notch a bucket in the pair, a runout layup and a pair of treys. Makeer added a third trey and Nyadieng Yiech a dazzling buzzer-beating putback and-one off a missed Syla Swords free throw that gave Canada a 28-18 lead after one quarter. Turnovers off casual passes and selfish shot selection characterized Canada’s second quarter attack before Swords notched a pair of buckets in the paint, including an and-one on a driving layup, while Avery Howell notched her third trey, as Canada took a 38-28 lead at the half. South Korea slowed the tempo to a crawl and kept collapsing their defence in the paint, while Canada’s ball movement was all but non-existent in the third quarter. But Makeer ripped down several offensive boards and nailed an eight-foot baseline runner as Canada clawed to a 50-42 lead heading into the final frame. Cearah Parchment and Mila Holloway nailed treys as Canada took control with a 7-0 run to open the ragged final quarter and held on for the win.

      In the quarterfinals, Canada spanked Japan 85-65. Canada exploded to an 18-4 lead by pounding the ball into the paint for layups by Avery Howell, Brooke McLeod and Syla Swords, while Howell and Makeer notched treys. Canada’s defence held up against racehorse Japan and they dominated the offensive glass, while Swords nailed another trey as Canada took a 26-11 lead after one quarter.

Rachael Okokoh notched a putback and a bucket in the blocks, while Swords hit a layup off a backdoor cut and a trey as Canada extended the lead to 52-30. Canada built the margin to 28 as Swords nailed another trey and notched a putback, while Cearah Parchment hit a driving layup and a pair of free throws. Canada took a 69-42 lead into the final frame.

      In the semis, disciplined Australia dispatched disjointed Canada 87-75. Disciplined Australia took a 16-9 lead by repeatedly breaking down Canada off the dribble. But Canada answered with a 6-0 run on a runner by Ifeoma Nwaobi, a dazzling driving layup by Syla Swords and mid-range jumper by Agot Makeer. Point guard Jasmine Bascoe added a transition layup and a trey but Australia’s kept aggressively attacking for layups as they took a 22-20 lead after one quarter. It was a three-point shootout early in the second quarter as Zara Russell hit a pair from the arc and Sitaya Fagan a third for Australia, while Avery Howell notched a pair for Canada. But the ball continued to stick in Bascoe’s hands as Australia built a 10-point lead on backdoor cuts and free throws before Howell hit a late trey to draw Canada within 43-36 at the half. Canada’s offence was marginally less stagnant as they drew within 54-53 on treys by Howell and Bascoe. But Canada kept forcing shots and Australia kept parading to the free throw line as they rebuilt their lead to 66-56 after three quarters. Canada drew no closer than three in the final frame as Australia patiently found the open shooters and hit their prayers and more free throws as they pulled away down the stretch.

      In the bronze medal match, Canada squandered a 14-point first-half lead and fell 70-68 to Spain. Canada took a 6-0 lead on a Syla Swords and-one and an Avery Howell trey. Spain rallied to knot the score at 8 on a pair of buckets by Rodriguez. Both teams struggled to notch a bucket as Canada took a 15-10 lead after quarter on a Swords runout and an inside feed to Ifeoma Nwaobi. Canada bridged the quarters by holding Spain without a field goal for eight minutes. They opened the second frame with a 11-2 run on a Cearah Parchment putback, a Swords trey, a driving layup from Jasmine Bascoe and four free throws from Nyadieng Yiech to take a 26-12 lead. But then they again fell victim to casual ballhandling, sloppy passing and selfish shot selection, allowing Spain to rally on runouts and then close out the half with a 12-0 run to take a 33-32 lead into the lockers. Canada regained a 40-37 lead on a Swords trey but kept coughing up the ball while driving into traffic, while Spain kept scoring in the paint off crisp ball movement to take a 54-52 lead after three quarters. Swords and Bascoe notched treys to cap a 7-0 Canadian run early in the fourth quarter as Canada took a 61-58 lead. They took a 66-60 lead on a pair of free throws by Howell. But Somtochukwu-Blessed Okafor bookended a late 10-1 run with treys as Spain took a 70-67 lead with a minute to play. Missed layups by Bascoe and Howell in the final minute, as well as desperation trey by Akot Makeer that fell short at the buzzer allowed Spain to escape with the win. “Spain is a seasoned team and country — they’ve been here many times,” Canadian coach Marlo Davis said. “We put ourselves in a position to win, both today and yesterday. A few things didn’t bounce our way, but we’ve got to learn from it and make sure that the next time we’re in these situations, the result goes our way.” Somtochukwu-Blessed Okafor paced Spain with 23 on 6-7 from the floor, 3-6 from the arc, 2-2 from the line, 11 boards, 3 assists and 3 steals.
