Once again, a member of the Nurse family is thriving at the Olympics.

Current UConn guard Kia Nurse was Canada's leading scorer at the 2016 Olympic women's basketball tournament as she had 25 points in a win over Serbia followed by 14 against Senegal to help Canada reach the quarterfinals.

Last night it was her cousin Sarah Nurse who scored what proved the game-winning goal as Canada edged the United States 2-1 in the women's hockey tournament.

After Monday's win over Louisville, I asked Kia if she's been able to catch the Olympic hockey games.

"Trying to watch a little more than I have been," Nurse said. "It is incredible, we love supporting one another and for Sarah this is beyond the most incredible honor being able to play for your country in the pinnacle for everything. I look at her snapchats and try to see if the Olympic village is different between Rio and there so it is fun kind of comparing it. I am super excited and I am sure she will be more than likely be the first Nurse to come home with an Olympic medal."

Sarah Nurse had 15 game-winning goals during her four seasons at Wisconsin helping the Badgers to the NCAA title game as a senior. Nurse's 15 postseason goals are the third most in program history. After being held scoreless in Canada's first two games, she scored with a sweet finish to put Canada up 2-0.

The U.S. and Canada have secured spots in Monday's semifinals and could meet in the gold medal game a week from today.
