UConn incoming freshman Kia Nurse had four points and three steals in Canada's 63-59 loss to France on the final day of pool play in the FIBA World Championship for Women.

The defeat resulted in Canada finishing third in Group B and will play the Czech Republic in a game Canada needs to win to advance to Friday's quarterfinals.

Tamara Tatham had 11 points and Michelle Plouffe added 10 to lead Canada while former Connecticut Sun forward Sandrine Gruda had 13 points to lead three France players scoring in double figures.
