MADRID - Toby Fournier had 20 points and 23 rebounds as Canada advanced to the semifinals of the FIBA Under-19 Women's Basketball World Cup with an 82-69 win over Mali on Friday.
Last night America faced off against Canada in the semi-finals of the Women’s Americup. This meant that 2 Michigan Women’s Basketball players suited up against each other. Rising junior Laila Phelia started for the US and 2024 commit Syla Swords came off the bench for Canada.
Syla Swords committed to UM yesterday for Women’s Basketball in an instagram post. I sure hope someone at Crisler is already thinking up sharp swashbuckling graphics for her. Swords is a 4 star Canadian prospect currently playing at a high school in New York (Long Island Lutheran) and is at training camp with the Canadian senior national team.
