Canada advances to AmeriCup semi-finals with dominant win over Colombia

SANTIAGO, Chile (July 4, 2025) — Canada is through to the semifinals at the FIBA Women’s AmeriCup following a 73–49 win over Colombia on Friday afternoon at the Centro de Deportes Colectivos.

With the result, Canada improved to 4–1 at the tournament and secured a semifinal berth for the ninth consecutive AmeriCup tournament.

Canada broke the game open in the second quarter, turning a seven-point lead into a 21-point advantage at halftime. The Canadians outscored Colombia 24–10 in the frame and never looked back. Despite shooting just 39 per cent from the field overall, Canada was efficient inside the arc (45.5 per cent) and at the foul line (84 per cent), while holding Colombia to 32 per cent shooting and zero second-chance points.

“We're excited about being able to move on to the next round and play in the semifinals,” said head coach Nell Fortner. “I thought our defence was pretty strong today. There are some areas we need to clean up, but we were locked in defensively. If we can smooth out the offence tomorrow, it’ll put us in a better position.”

Shay Colley led Canada with 12 points on 5-of-5 shooting from two-point range, while adding eight rebounds, three assists and two steals. She now has 212 career points at the Women’s AmeriCup, moving to sixth all-time among Canadians since 2003.

“I thought we did a great job as a team coming in and applying pressure, pushing the pace at the start of the game,” said Colley.

5th at the FIBA U19 Men’s World Cup!

 

Lost a tight game to US in the quarterfinals, they were down only one after three quarters, and lost by 6.

We got a bad draw. A team we beat in the group stage (Slovenia) finished higher

    • need to work on the celebrations... or just drop them?   Btw, these jerseys suck and I remember Zambia playing in all white with red numbers. At least they have orange on national flag but still...    
    • British Columbia in general and Vancouver in particular are awesome and it’s great more people got to discover it thanks to Vancouver 2010.
    • And of course the British being famous for curmudgeons, there were always plenty of curmudgeons to quote.  Then of course from the opening ceremony and the cycle race on the very first morning it was obviously going to be triumph, so everyone just shut up for a while.  
    • Yep, the amount of emergency services I heard at some point was a little extreme (for our little town), so I checked what was going on and saw they were all being called to a specific location. Until then I thought maybe it was part of a parade of trucks and agricultural vehicles that was on it's way from the next town over, decorated with lights and stuff.   Since I knew it was on the parade route, I was sure one of those big vehicles had hit people somehow (there were, besides the many vehicles, also two helicopters on the way, meaning it certainly wasn't about a single victim).   We picked our bikes and went to take a look, absolutely chaos in the area. Never saw so many services combined together, fire trucks from 20km away, ambulance after ambulance came racing by, people frantically trying to make way for them (the roads weren't really closed yet).   While there we heard someone who had been close say that the parade hadn't arrived yet and what seemed to have happened was that a car from the other side came onto the roundabout and simply never turned. "It's a massive drama over there, unbelievable", he said.   Quite quickly rumours started spreading of course, the first one turned out to be true: a middle aged (local) woman was behind the wheel and seems to have become unwell. Local security camera showed the car going at high speed right before the roundabout.   Plenty of rumours going around in terms of who were involved of course, and people keeping each other up to date to see if they know this or that family and such...   Never expected my little town to be big news in the Netherlands, even including some breaking broadcasts, live reporters and everything, damn. By far the biggest thing to happen here in my memory  
    • This is the home town of our very own @heywooduand @brunamoura    
    • For me, these were very good Olympics, and British sport benefited greatly from them, and is still benefiting. I fear it will be much worse here. Canada also benefited very good on Vancouver 2010 – this is very good see in the medal standings of subsequent Winter Games after 2010 and earlier.
    • Nobody hates Britain more than the British media so… I recall it being quite a pessimistic tone before the London games started.
    • I'm curious what was written before London 2012? Did they attack their own country, or did they just keep quiet?
    • Other winners at the PanAm Sports Awards Junior 2025            
    • Very true point.  Although I think at this point everyone is just holding their collective breath until the test event.  The NHL isn't going to rage anymore until then because it's not like that would make the arena progress go any quicker
