BANGKOK (FIBA U19 World Championship for Women) - Australia's U19 Gems came up with another robust performance and beat former champions Czech Republic 92-65 in the eight-final round on Tuesday.

The win, the Gems' fifth in as many games in the competition, not only assured them of a place in the quarterfinals but also perched them in an unassailable position on top of Group E.

With no other team in Group E in a position to score five wins, Australia will take on the fourth-place finishing team from Group F in the quarterfinals, which are slated for Friday.

Czech Republic fell to 3-2 in the competition, but are still in the race for a place in the play-offs.

Elizabeth Cambage did the initial damage on the Czech morale, but the real Aussie charge came towards the end of the first quarter.

Kerryn Harrington sank two three-pointers, Tess Magden added after Rachel Jarry had converted a free-throw to put Australia on a 10-0 run.

Michaela Stara broke the drought for the Czechs scoring from the paint, but that was only a minor interruption in the Gems dominance.

Jarry went on to lead the game in scoring - 17 points - as well rebounds - 10 boards, with two assists adding value to her presence.

Gretel Tippett had 14 points and Cambage 10 as the Gems rolled on to yet another facile win.

Australia dominated the board 48-24.

Klaula Rosenbaumova returned to the Czech line-up after an injury lay-off, but had only a lonely defensive rebound to show.

Eva Skutilova was the highest scorer for the Czechs with 14 points.
