Canada's women's 3x3 basketball team rebounded from a narrow loss with an emphatic win on Thursday in Fribourg, Switzerland.
The Canadians topped Malaysia 21-15 just hours after falling to Azerbaijani side Neftchi 15-13 when a late two-pointer fell short.
The reigning champions earned their first win of the season in Poitiers, France at the end of June — powered in part by sisters Katherine and Michelle Plouffe, who didn't join regular teammates Kacie Bosch and Paige Crozon in Switzerland.
In their place were Calgary's Carly Ahlstrom and Samantha Cooper of Sudbury, Ont. Ahlstrom provided instant offence, leading the team with five points against Neftchi despite connecting on just one of seven three-point attempts.
