Serving as head coach for the U18 Canadian women's national team this summer, University of Toronto Varsity Blues women's basketball head coach Dianna Ros led Team Canada to a silver medal performance this past week at the FIBA U18 Women's AmeriCup in Irapuato, Mexico.

Guiding the U18 national team at the showcase event, Canada went undefeated during the group phase of the tournament earning wins over Puerto Rico, Dominican Republic, and Venezuela. The 3-0 record placed Canada into the semifinals where they battled to a 64-52 victory over Argentina to secure one of the top two steps on the podium. The momentum would run out as the United States claimed a 90-72 win on the gold medal game.

Ros was announced as head coach of the U18 Canadian women's national team back in March and with the second place finish have now qualified the team for the FIBA U19 Women's Basketball World Cup in Chengdu, China from July 17-25, 2027.

Ros completed her second season as head coach of the Varsity Blues in February, more than doubling U of T's win total from the previous year. Building a strong defensive identity throughout her first two seasons at the helm of the Blue and White, U of T ranked in the Top 10 in several defensive categories this past season including opponent field goal percentage (7th - 35.7) and steals per game (7th - 11.3).
