China became the first team through to the quarterfinals of the Women’s World Cup from the qualifying round after an 87-81 victory over Asian rival Japan in Tenerife, Spain.
Shao Ting and Yang Liwei each scored 16 points to lead China to the win yesterday. Next up is a meeting with Australia. China was able to use its size and strong outside shooting to beat Japan. China hit nine 3-pointers, including four by Yang. Japan trailed by nine with 3:20 left in the fourth quarter before cutting its deficit to two on Nako Motohashi’s layup with 1:27 left. Li Yueru then answered with a basket to make it a two-possession game and Japan couldn’t get any closer. Motohashi scored 25 points for Japan.
