It was an historic Pan Am Games performance by the Canadian women's basketball team Monday and UWindsor alum Miah-Marie Langlois was right in the centre of the action.
 
The 23-year-old Langlois started at point guard against the powerful United States as Canada won its first gold medal in women's basketball with an 81-73 win.

"It's one of those things that you don't realize how great it is until it's over," said Langlois. "It's pretty awesome”

Canada's previous Pan Am best was a silver medal in 1999 when the event was held in Winnipeg. The team has won a bronze on three other occasions.
