TODAY: WalshJennings, Rossnot ruling outTokyo Olympics

fellow Group B squad, the United States, on Friday.

USA women’s head coach Geno Auriemma is certainly

familiar with Canada’s biggest offensive threat, UConn

Huskies junior Kia Nurse, whom he coaches in college.

With 14 points, Nurse led Canada in scoring for the

second consecutive game. Tamara Tatham was just as

effective in the victory over Senegal, with 13 points and

10 rebounds.

Astou Traore did all she could for Senegal, leading all

scorers with 24 points. Senegal’s second leading scorer

was Oumoul Thiam with 12, the only other Senegalese

player in double figures.

Canada held a double-digit lead for most of the game,

though Senegal mounted a late run to close the gap to

seven points midway through the fourth quarter. But

even then, Canada seemed in control, as they did all

game.

The United States handled business against Serbia, 110-

84. They have scored over 100 points in every game they

have played thus far.

Senegal will play Spain on Friday, but seem to be a near-

lock to be eliminated before bracket play.
