Slovakia edged Poland 76-74 in Lanciano in the final game of the Additional Qualifying Tournament on Friday night to ensure that Israel advanced to the EuroBasket Women.

Needing only to win the game after their victory over Israel, the Polish failed.

Israel led 58-52 early in the fourth quarter but Poland held their nerve and fought back to win 78-71 in the additional qualifying tournament for the EuroBasket Women.

Fresh off their 84-71 win over Slovakia, Israel were hoping to book their place in the finals.

Liron Cohen and Meirav Dori provided most of the firepower on offense and Israel broke open a close game in the fourth quarter to stun Slovakia in the first game of the Additional Qualifying Tournament for the EuroBasket Women.

In the game staged in Lanciano, Italy, each player buried a trio of three-pointers with Cohen scoring a game-high 24 and Dori weighing in with 20 in an 84-71 triumph.

Hungary bounced back from their midweek defeat to Bulgaria by thrashing Israel on Saturday in the additional qualifying tournament for the EuroBasket Women.

Timea Ivkovicné Béres, Petra Ujhelyi and Zsófia Fegyverneky each scored 14 points in the 73-54 Group B triumph in Györ.
