If you want to see the boxscores (or, apparently, videos of the games, but I didn't try them), go to

I don't think focusing on the common stats (pts, assists, etc) is appropriate because they don't capture the real effectiveness of the player toward the goal of the game (to score more points than the opponent). I still believe +/- per minute (or per 40 minutes) is the best overall stat to show effectiveness. It has its flaws however (effect of other players) but I think it is still the best.
In a blowout, the goal of winning may not be the coach's goal. The coach may wish to work on one aspect or another for the team or for individuals, or may simply want to give experience to those that don't start.
By this measure, the game against France was Leopolo's worst game. Further concern is that her two worst games were the two closest.
Here are the time played, +/-, and +/- per 40 minutes.
