Even though coach Knut Ove Joa's team lost to the Olympic bronze medallists, they can be satisfied with their performance. What the Swiss women showed after the 11:17 (25th) deserves great recognition and underlines the great potential in the very young team. As against the Faroe Islands, Tabea Schmid was named the best player of the game. The 21-year-old pivot scored eight goals from eleven shots.
To conclude the preliminary round, the Swiss will face Croatia, who had to settle for a 17:17 draw against the Faroe Islands, on Tuesday at 20:30. A draw will be enough for them to reach the main round. It would be the next step after just one point, a 26:26 draw against Croatia, at their European Championship debut two years ago.
