Russia was finally able to make their debut in the tournament on Sunday in the Dominican Republic, although they had something quite different than their hoped for roster. Belgium ended their tournament on a winning note behind Emma Meesseman 66-43. That left the situation pretty clear for Monday’s game with the winner taking the last spot on the world stage. There was not much drama in that game as Raisa Musina and Russia took the lead early on their way to a 102-68 win over Jazmon Gwathmey and company.
