Brno, Czech Republic – South Carolina rising senior Olga Gritsaeva turned in her best offensive performance to date when she scored 14 points, grabbed six rebounds and dished out four assists in Russia’s 86-71 win over the Czech Republic Wednesday at the FIBA European Championship for Under-20 Women. Gritsaeva added two steals to her stat line as well.

The Russian team faces Belgium Thursday to put a cap on the round robin portion of its schedule.
