KAZAN, Russia -- Canada was unable to add to its medal total Tuesday at the World University Games, ending the day with six fourth-place finishes. Canada finished just off the podium in mens basketball and womens water polo, as well as in four swimming finals. After a second straight day without a medal, Canada stood 17th in the overall standings with two gold, five silver and eight bronze. The mens basketball team fell 87-74 to Serbia in the bronze-medal match. Serbia jumped to a 24-16 lead after the first quarter and was ahead by 10 at halftime. Canada responded with a big third quarter lead by two after 30 minutes but collapsed as the game wore on. The Serbians, who came into the tournament as defending two-time champions, were sent to the free throw line 37 times and converted 26 of their opportunities, compared to 9-of-14 for Canada. Dwight Powell of Toronto, with 12 points, Thomas Scrubb of Richmond, B.C., with 11, and Daniel Mullings of Toronto, with 10, scored in double figures for Canada, which ended the competition with a 6-2 record. "We were in a heck of a ball game with five minutes to go," said head coach Jay Triano. "We had wide-open threes and we had drives to the basket where either they made good plays or the whistle didnt blow. "We have to do a better job of keeping guys in front of us and do a better job of finishing plays strong and getting to the free-throw line." In womens water polo, Canada had to settle for fourth place following a 6-5 loss to Italy. Shae Fournier of Winnipeg was exceptional despite the loss with three goals, increasing her tournament total to a team-leading 16 in six games. "Our goal coming into the tournament was to win a medal," said head coach Andrew Robinson. "Obviously, its always disappointing when you come this close. However, we brought a young team here and playing two games for a medal, in the semis against Hungary and tonight, thats invaluable experience for this group." In swimming, Canada was in seven finals on the last night at the pool but just couldnt reach the podium. Torontos Brittany MacLean (womens 400-metre freestyle), Katerine Savard of Pont-Rouge, Que., (womens 200 butterfly) and Alec Page of Cortes Island, B.C. (mens 400 medley) all finished fourth in individual events. The womens 4x100 medley relay team of Savard, Calgarys Brooklyn Snodgrass, Tera Van Beilen of Oakville, Ont., and Sandrine Mainville of Boucherville, Que., also finished fourth. Other Canadians in finals included Savannah King of Vernon, B.C., who placed fifth in the womens 400 free; Tianna Rissling of Redcliff, Alta., sixth in the womens 50 breaststroke; Mainville, eighth in the womens 50 free; Stephanie Horner of Beaconsfield, Que., eighth in the womens 200 fly; and the relay team of Russell Wood of Calgary, Richard Funk of Edmonton, Coleman Allen of Barrie, Ont., and Dominique Massie-Martel of Ottawa, sixth in the mens 4x100 medley.
