       In the round of 16, Canada mustered a sloppy 67-40 win over winless host Czechia.

But Frances Vollett notched a putback and a runout, Lexi Wee a trey and Grace Pongang a layup off an inside feed as Canada responded with a 9-0 run. The plague of turnovers continued as Czechia capitalized for a runout to draw within 13-11 after one quarter. Avery Arije nailed a trey as Canada opened the second frame with a 5-0 run. But Canada kept driving into a collapsing zone defence and turning over the ball as Czechia countered with an 8-2 run in the sloppy, ragged second quarter to rally within 20-19.

In the quarterfinals, Canada edged China 69-68. China took a 15-13 lead after one quarter as their quickness and ball pressure hounded nervous Canada into errant passes and sloppy turnovers. China kept breaking Canada down off the dribble and dominating the offensive boards as they took a 30-29 lead at the half despite a late 5-0 Canadian run featuring a driving layup by Emerald Nnani and an 18-foot jumper by Avery Arije. Canada opened the second half with a 14-2 run featured a pair of buckets in the paint by Nnani, a pair of treys by Ashley Vande Ven and a driving layup by Frances Vollett. China clawed back within four by aggressively attacking the offensive glass before Arije notched a baseline jumper and an and-one to give Canada a 56-47 lead after three quarters. China opened the final frame with an 8-2 run by capitalizing on casual Canadian ballhandling. With Canada settling for and missing open perimeter looks, China drew within 65-64 on offensive runouts. Nnani notched a bucket in the paint with 1:39 to play. Yunshun Pang countered with a pair of free throws with 23u seconds on the clock. Another Canadian turnover gave China the ball with 14.2 seconds to play. Xuan Sun notched a layup on a perfectly executed inbounds feed with 12.7 seconds remaining.

In the semis, the United States outclassed Canada 86-60. Canada established early that their game plan was to attack off the dribble and pound the ball into the paint, particularly to Frances Vollett. They built a 7-2 lead before the United States began dominating the offensive glass as they rallied to a 15-14 lead. But Ashley Vande Ven and Jordyn Nohr nailed treys, while Lexi Wee notched a layup on a backdoor cut and Emerald posted up for a bucket as Canada took a 26-23 lead after one quarter. The United States continued to capitalize on second chance opportunities as they opened the second frame with a 9-2 run. With Canada indulging in careless turnovers and the Americans playing ping pong on the offensive glass, the United States soon led by double digits. Vollett stemmed the bleeding with a transition layup but Canada’s ballhandling miscues remained contagious as the United States built a 48-33 lead the half. The Americans continued to exploit Canada’s lax boxouts and the recklessness of the Canadian guards as they expanded their lead to 70-43 after three quarters.

       In the bronze medal match, Australia edged turnover-prone Canada 64-57. With Canada unable to notch a field goal for five minutes and appearing determined to cough up the ball through casual passing and selfish shot selection, Australia took a 14-10 lead after one quarter. Canada’s penetrate-and-turnover offence again proved the order of the day as Australia extended its lead to double digits. Canada responded with a pair from beyond the arc by Ashley Vande Ven to draw within four but Olivia Olechnowicz notched a trey and and-one to give Australia a 31-23 lead at the half. Avery Arije notched a 7-0 run, featuring a driving layup, a mid-range jumper and a trey, to draw Canada within 36-35. Vande Ven then posted up for a bucket and drained her third trey at the buzzer as Canada knotted the score at 43 after three quarters. Frances Vollett nailed a pair from the arc as Canada took a 51-47 lead. But repeated Portia Reisen turnovers and aggressive Australia boardwork allowed the Sapphires to explode for an 8-0 run. Vande Ven notched a runner and Grace Pongang a putback as Canada knotted the score at 55. But Olechnowicz drilled a trey with 1:17 to play and Australia drained six free throws down the stretch to pull out the win.
