National team career

[edit]

Pan Am games 2015

[edit]

Langlois was a member of the Canada women's national basketball team which participated in basketball at the 2015 Pan American Games held in Toronto, Canada. Canada won all three preliminary games against Venezuela, Argentina, and Cuba.[3] Canada faced Brazil in the semifinal, where Langlois contributed five assists in a 91–63 win to earn a spot in the gold-medal game against the USA.[4]

Canada beat USA in the gold-medal 81–73 to win Canada's first Pan Am Games gold-medal in basketball. Langois had three rebounds and two steals.[5][6][7][8]

FIBA Americas Women's Championship 2015

[edit]

Langlois played for Canada at the 2015 FIBA Americas Women's Championship in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. Canada was assigned to Group A and played Puerto Rico, Chile, the Dominican Republic and Cuba in the preliminary rounds. Canada won the first three games easily with a 94–57 win over Puerto Rico is the closest match. The final preliminary round game was against undefeated Cuba. Cuba played well in that event and was expected to challenge Canada. However, Canada defeated Cuba 92–43 to win first place in the group for a spot in the semifinal against the second-place team in group B, Brazil. Langlois recorded a team-high seven assists.[9]

The semifinal game against Brazil was much closer. Canada led by only six points at halftime but gradually expanded the lead to end up with an 83–66 win, and a spot in the gold-medal game.[10] The gold-medal game was a rematch with Cuba. Cuba started off strong and had an eight-point lead early in the game. Canada responded with a 16–0 run to take over the lead, but Cuba responded and took a small lead early in the second half. Then Canada took the lead back and gradually expanded the lead to end up with the win, 82–66. As the game wound down to the close, the crowd was chanting "Rio","Rio","Rio" in recognition of the fact that the win qualifies Canada for the Olympics in Rio in 2016. Langlois recorded eight assists, the highest on the team.[11][12]
