The Canadian Senior Women’s team played their second of three games tonight as they fight to make it to the Olympic Qualifier tournaments in February 2024. The SWNT is in Colombia this weekend playing three other teams from the Americas for two spots in February’s tournament.

Canada kicked off their weekend with a dominant display last night over Venezuela, winning 81-39. Tonight, they faced the home team Colombia hoping to go 2-0 in the tournament.

Something that makes Canada so competitive in this tournament in their size, strength, and depth. Last night’s win displayed that as their defence was strong enough to hold Venezuela to under 40 points and their ability to be aggressive and fast on offence helped them rack up the points.
