Kozani – Austria’s women’s national handball team has taken the next step towards a European Championship ticket. Team boss Monique Tijsterman’s selection gave Israel no chance at 38:23 in the qualifying match held in Kozani in Greece and successfully defended second place in Group 6. Before the final duel with the Greeks, who are two points behind, on Sunday, the Austrians have all the trump cards in their hands in the fight for a top two place.
