Canadian 3x3 basketball team tops France for 2nd straight Women's Series Final title

Canada won its second straight title at the FIBA 3x3 Women's Series Final on Sunday after topping France 16-15 in Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia.

The championship game served as a rematch of the 2022 Final that Canada won 21-16 in Constanța, Romania, with the defending champions returning all four players for its title defence: Edmonton's Katherine and Michelle Plouffe, Paige Crozon of Humbolt, Sask., and Kacie Bosch of Lethbridge, Alta.

With France's Hortense Limouzin knotting the game at 15 with just seven seconds remaining, Katherine Plouffe found Crozon just under the basket where she was able to corral the pass and hook the ball over Limouzin with no time remaining on the clock to secure Canada's sixth tournament victory of the season.
