Kyara Linskens scored 14 pts, 6 reb and 3 ast. Julie Allemand scored 13 pts and 6 rebs and last.

In the defeated team, only Olga Frolkina achieved a double-digit performance, scoring 10 pts. In two days, the Russians will play a decisive match against Puerto Rico. There should be no problems in that match, so Russia will almost certainly be the last participant in the World Cup.
