In the second WOMEN’S OLYMPIC QUALIFIER in Kazan (Russia) today, the USA emerged undefeated when they beat the Netherlands Antilles 3-1. They go on to meet Belgium in the final tomorrow. Belgium could only manage a 0-0 draw against Russia but it was enough to see them through to the finals. India overcame France 7-0 in the other match today.
The final WOMEN’S OLYMPIC QUALIFIER starts in Victoria (British Columbia) today. Due to the time difference we have no results at the present time.
