Pré-qualification aux JO 2028 de basket féminin : les Lionnes s’inclinent face au Canada
The Senegalese women's national basketball team began their 2028 Olympic pre-qualifying tournament with a defeat. On Monday night in Mexico, Cierra Dillard and her teammates lost to Canada (72-57).
Highly effective from three-point range, the Canadians dominated the first quarter (22-14). In the second quarter, Canada maintained its lead despite a strong comeback from Senegal. At halftime, the Canadians led by eight points (41-33).
After returning from the locker room, the Lionesses were more enterprising, particularly thanks to Cierra Dillard, who scored 20 points. They even closed the gap to just one point. However, several missed free throws and easy baskets prevented Senegal from capitalizing on their comeback. Canada thus regained their lead to finish the third quarter with a ten-point advantage (58-48).
In the final quarter, the Lionesses gradually lost their grip on the game. The Canadians took advantage, widening the gap and ultimately winning 72-57.
With this opening defeat, Senegal already finds itself under pressure before its second match, scheduled against Mexico.
