Carleton Top Player For Canada

Chatham’s Bridget Carleton opened her European Tour with Team Canada vying for a final roster spot.

If early indications hold true, she’ll secure that not just as depth, but as a centerpiece for Canada.

Carleton was named the Canada Basketball female player of the week in recognition of her strong play in Canada’s opening games.

Most notably, Carelton topped all Canadian players with 13-points in a 61-54 win over Japan this week.

Starting in each of Canada’s first three games, Bridget Carleton, who plays NCAA Division I basketball for Iowa State, will look to help Canada finish their five game tour on a winning note Thursday and Friday.

Thursday, Canada and Carleton face France, followed by Ukraine on Friday.
