Less than a day after a heartbreaking loss to the U.S. in the women's AmeriCup basketball tournament, Canada bounced back with an 80-73 victory over Puerto Rico in Sunday's third-place final in León, Mexico.

Canada, which dropped a 67-63 decision Saturday night to the favoured Americans, got a 19-point performance from Nirra Fields to beat Puerto Rico, which lost 85-74 to Brazil in Saturday's other semifinal showdown.

Kayla Alexander had 13 points and 16 rebounds for Canada against Puerto Rico, while Shay Colley added 15 points.

Puerto Rico was led by Arella Guirantes' 27 points.
