It was a must-win game for both Canada and Australia in women’s 5x5 today in Lille, France, as both teams hoped to better their chances of advancing to the Quarter-Finals.
Canada has lost their first game against France, while Australia was upset by Nigeria, so each team came into the game with a 0-1 record.
Unfortunately, a win was not in cards for Canada today, and now their fate rests in the hands of other teams.
Turnovers and Free Throws hinder Canada
After the loss to France, Canada came into this game with a few clear goals — limit turnovers, play strong defence, and get buckets.
