Canada crushes Colombia for 3rd straight win at FIBA Women's AmeriCup

Nirra Fields scored seven points in the first three minutes, igniting Canada to an 89-55 win over Colombia at the FIBA Women's AmeriCup on Tuesday in Léon, Mexico.

Fields, a two-time Olympian, score a game-high 15 points to lead the Canadians, who recorded their third consecutive blowout victory after beating Mexico 83-57 and downing Puerto Rico 84-47 one night later.

Canada now sits atop Group B at 3-0. The final group-stage game for the fifth-ranked outfit comes Wednesday against the 35th-ranked Dominican Republic.
