Israel's women's national team will leave Tuesday for a 3-game preparation tournament in Slovakia. The final roster - inside.
Israel's national team, which lost two of three practice games in Ukraine two weeks ago, will fly out to Slovakia on Tuesday for three more games – two against Slovakia and one against Romania. Romania is preparing for the European Championships, while Slovakia will play in the qualifying tournament like Israel.
"We've already done our homework on our opponents in the qualifying tournament. We've had a partial preparation against Ukraine, and now this tournament in Slovakia will be the final preparation", Coach Eli Rabi told 'Safsal'. "Four days after we get back we fly out to a tough road game in Hungary".
The final roster for the tournament was set after Bat El Lazmi and Chen Shtain were let go. The 12-player roster includes: Jennifer Fleischer, Liad Suez Karni, Liron Cohen, Katia Levitzky, Merav Dori, Laine Selwyn, Ayelet Cohen, Chen Nusel, Katia Abramzon, Nomi Kolodny, Liel Ochanon and Shiran Zairy.
Despite the New York Liberty's surprising playoff appearance, Eli Rabi didn't rule out the possibility of Shay Doron joining the team late. If New York loses to Detroit in the first round, Rabi noted Doron could join the team in time for the home game against Bulgaria on September 5th.
