Cuiaba, Brazil.– Jordan Adams led a balanced attack with 16 points as Canada routed the Dominican Republic 103-37 in the opening game for both teams at the women's FIBA Americas basketball tournament Wednesday.

The Canadians dominated from the outset, breaking out to a 55-20 halftime lead and cruising from there. Adams finished 6-of-7 from the field as Canada shot 61 per cent from two-point range, and 46 per cent from beyond the arc.

Chelsea Aubry of Kitchener, Ont., had 14 points in the win, while Tamara Tatham of Brampton added 13. Andreina Paniagua Cuevas led the way with 16 points for the Dominicans (0-1), who shot just 20 per cent from two-point range and were a miserable 1-for-15 in three-point attempts.

Earlier Wednesday, Cuba routed Chile 94-60 in Group B action. Later, Puerto Rico faced Brazil in Group A while Venezuela tangled with Argentina in Group B.

An encouraging result!

You will notice that countries with the least attractive and least desirable women (Canada, U.S., Australia, Korea, China, the former Soviet Union, East Germany, etc.) always seem to excel in women's athletics, while countries with the most attractive and most desirable women (DR, Nicaragua, Mexico, Spain, Italy, France, Thailand, Japan, Vietnam etc.) usually don't fair as well.
