Canada trailed Texas by 11 points but made a phenomenal comeback to win 72-65 at the Mattamy Athletic Centre. Avery Howell and Shy Day-Wilson were key to this victory. After Texas led 39-33 at halftime, Canada outscored them 13-5 in the last minutes of the third quarter and secured victory in the fourth. Howell, awarded the tournament MVP, scored 24 points, showcasing stunning performance with a perfect shooting record from three-point range. Coach Carly Clarke emphasized defensive adjustments made at halftime that contributed to the team's success.
We talked at halftime about giving up 39 in the first half, and we felt we had to hold them under 30. In the second half, we held them to 26.
I think our team has faced a lot of adversity, and we obviously lost to them the other night, so I think it was about knowing where we needed to make adjustments.
