Gibb's 3-pointer helps Canada win bronze in OT at women's U19 basketball World Cup
Canada has won bronze at the FIBA women's under-19 basketball World Cup for a second time.
Delaney Gibb's three-pointer gave Canada a lead it would not relinquish in an 80-73 overtime win over France on Sunday in the third-place game at the international tournament in Madrid. Toby Fournier, Achol Akot and Marah Dykstra added five points by free throws to add insurance after Gibb's three-pointer gave Canada a 75-73 lead 2:25 into the extra period.
"Huge credit to the team for staying connected, trusting the process, leaning into what everyone was being asked to do, and it was a real joy to watch them celebrate this win today," said Canada head coach Carly Clarke, who also coached the team in 2017 when they also earned bronze.
"They certainly earned it."
