The Canadian women’s 3×3 basketball team went undefeated Thursday as play opened at an Olympic qualifying tournament.

The Canadian squad of Paige Crozon, Katherine Plouffe, Michelle Plouffe and Kacie Bosch opened with a convincing 21-11 win over Chile and followed with a close 19-16 victory over Lithuania.

Michelle Plouffe led the way with 17 points and 10 rebounds over the two wins.

Canada can wrap up first place in Group B and a spot in the quarterfinals with a win over Czechia on Saturday.

Meanwhile, the Canadian men’s team opened at 1-1 with an 18-14 win over Spain and a 21-18 loss to Egypt. The men will try to lock down a top-two position in Pool C and a quarterfinal berth Saturday against France.

The top three teams from each tournament qualify for the 2024 Paris Olympics.
