BANGKOK (FIBA U19 World Championship for Women) - Hosts Thailand ran into a charged up Lithuania and suffered a 34-89 defeat in a Group B game on Friday.
Lithuania, who lost to Czech Republic on the opening day, looked solid and steady to make up for that defeat right from the word go.
Marina Solopova was the leader of the Lithuanian pack with 20 points as the European nation scored 20 points in the first five minutes to dash any hopes the hosts might have carried.
Lina Pickiute came off the bench and added 19 points before sitting out the entire fourth quarter.
Ruemenchanok Doksaiyud was the only Thai player with a double-digit score with 11 points.
