Kia Nurse with game-high 17 points, Canada beats Puerto Rico 75-59
BUENOS AIRES, Argentina — Canada has back-to-back wins to begin the FIBA women’s AmeriCup.
Kia Nurse scored a game-high 17 points to go along with eight rebounds as the Canadian squad downed Puerto Rico 75-59 on Monday for their second straight victory in group play.
Katherine Plouffe chipped in with 14 points off the bench while Jamie Scott added 11 points.
“Puerto Rico gave us a lot of problems today. I thought their speed, quickness and ability to attack the rim, finish at the rim and draw fouls posed a lot of problems for our defence,” said Canada coach Lisa Thomaidis.
