2013 FIBA U19
World Championship for Women
Eighth Final Round day two

Australia were the biggest winners on day 5 of the 2013 FIBA U19 World Championship for Women by beating Brazil and booking their place in the quarter-finals.

Elsewhere the USA failed for the first time in this competition to reach the 100-point mark despite winning by 34 points.

France and Spain joined the USA in the unbeaten club while Argentina registered their first victory of the tournament.

The biggest losers on the second day of the Eighth Final Round were Serbia whose defeat to Japan eliminated them from the title race.

Group E - Australia in, Serbia out

Casey Samuels

Casey Samuels (in picture) hit 3 three-pointers for Australia during the second quarter against Brazil turning a (11-16) deficit into a (30-22) advantage by the break.

Australia stayed in front the rest of the way and handed Brazil their first defeat (69-51). Samuels finished with 21 points in leading all scoring as the Gems punched their quarter-final ticket.

Japan put an end to Serbia's challenge for a World Championship title (87-62) with 22 points coming from Miyuki Kawamura. Her team-mate  Mirai Tamura dished out 10 assists while scoring 14 points.

Spain maintained their unbeaten record by defeating Russia (80-72) in a scrappy match. The Russians were better for the first three quarters but let the game slip away during the final ten minutes.

The loss for Russia is of no consequence because to qualify for the U19 FIBA World Championship for Women quarter-finals they must beat Japan in the final Group E game.
