A 20‑year‑old guard from South Carolina, Agot Makeer, played a pivotal role as Canada captured the only berth available for the 2028 FIBA Women’s Olympic Qualifying Tournaments in Guadalajara, Mexico.
Over five games, Makeer posted averages of 8.2 points and a team‑best 56.3 percent shooting, while logging 14 minutes per contest.
Key Moments in the Final
In the championship game, Canada routed Mexico 83‑53, with Makeer contributing 13 points on 5‑of‑7 shooting, three assists and three rebounds.
Her performance built on earlier showings, including an 11‑point effort in the semifinal against New Zealand where she shot 5‑of‑7 from the field.
Makeer’s impact extended beyond scoring; her efficiency ranked second on the team and helped Canada finish the tournament with a perfect record in group play and a decisive victory over Mexico.
Implications for the Olympic Path
The win not only secures Canada’s spot in the qualifying tournament but also signals a promising depth for the national squad as they prepare for the next cycle.
Coach comments and future plans were not detailed in the tournament report, but the guard’s emergence adds a new dimension to the team’s offensive options.
