OTTAWA – Canada slipped past China 66-62 on Saturday at the IWBF women’s world wheelchair basketball championship in Ottawa.
Arinn Young made a two-pointer with 1:10 left to play for a one-point lead and then Kady Dandeau added three points in the final 18 seconds of the game to secure the win for Canada.
Dandeau had a double-double with a game-high 37 points and 10 rebounds for Canada (3-0), adding six assists and a steal.
Young finished with a triple-double, with 19 points, 10 rebounds and 10 assists.
Suiling Lin led China (1-2) with 19 points, 12 assists and seven rebounds.
“Obviously, we’re really pumped about how we played and what our game plan was,” said Tara Llanes of Canada. “Like in any game, you have some blips, but overall, I felt like our defence was strong, we made some good rotations and went out there, and Young and Dandeneau lit it up, so that’s what we need.”
The Canadians could add to their lead atop Group A when they face Brazil on Sunday.
Canada’s men had the day off because Iran, their scheduled opponents, had to withdraw from the tournament due to visa issues.
