Canada will open up its Olympic schedule in search of its first-ever medal finish in what should be a tight battle against host nation France on Monday.
Packed with more WNBA talent than ever before, including standout rookie Aaliyah Edwards and one of the best 3-point shooters in the league in Bridget Carleton, the world No. 5-ranked team should be coming into the competition with high expectations.
Standing in the way is world No. 7 France, led by former WNBA star and sweet-shooting Marine Johannes. France was 5-0 in its tune-up games leading up to the Olympics and looked ready to do its home crowd proud.
Follow along here for all the key moments in Canada’s opening match against France.
