Within seconds of Canada’s opening game of the 2023 FIBA Women’s AmeriCup on Sunday, it became abundantly clear that Canada planned to do everything they could to pressure the host Mexican team. Guard Shay Colley exploded down the court off of a jump-ball win by centre Kayla Alexander to lay-in Canada’s first two points of the night just five seconds into the game in León – a lead the Canadians did not relinquish on the way to an 83-57 victory.
