AUS – Opals strike early in rout of Slovakia


SZOMBATHELY (2010 FIBA World Championship for Women) - The Australians continued their whirlwind summer of basketball with a 93-63 victory over Slovakia on Thursday in a four-nation tournament being staged in Hungary.

Carrie Graf's side stormed out to a 31-14 lead and never looked back.

The Opals only just arrived in Europe after their training camp in the United States, where they beat the USA in a friendly last weekend.

Before travelling to America, the Opals played three games in China against their national team.

Marianna Tolo finished with 20 points.

Jenna O'Hea drilled five of six three-balls on her way to 19 points and Laura Summerton added 16 for Australia.

The Aussies, winners of the FIBA World Championship for Women in Brazil four years ago, will try to defend that title later this summer in the Czech Republic.

They will compete against Belarus, Canada and China in Preliminary Round Group A in Ostrava.

Slovakia are preparing for EuroBasket Women 2011 qualifying games.
