Katherine Plouffe & Canada lose in Olympic quarterfinals to France

+

Kim Gaucher gave the Canadians a 29-16 lead early in the second quarter, but the French team rallied to make it just a five point game at the half. France pulled it even after three quarters, and Nayo Raincock-Ekunwe pulled Canada within one at 60-59 with 1:58 left, but France made their free throws down the stretch to come away with the 68-63 win. Former Marquette forward Katherine Plouffe had two points, three rebounds, and three assists as her Olympic run comes to an end.
