Eventually running out 113-42 winners, it was Agot Makeer who led the way as she dropped 5 of 7 from long-range en-route to a sparkling 18 points.
Eight different Canadian players made triples to rack up the historical high, with Mila Holloway dishing out 9 assists in the process. That helped Canada to accumulate the joint second highest number of assists in history for a single game with 36.
The sharp-shooting of Canada also came just 24 hours after Israel attained their third best display in history from the arc when they dropped 17 shots in their thrilling 86-82 loss against Hungary.
Meanwhile Canada also took pride in becoming the first ever nation at a FIBA U19 event (women or men) to hit the 20 triples landmark.
