PSV Handbal Women — Kwiek Women: 33:38, Eredivisie Women

Kwiek defeated PSV 38-33 on Wednesday in the Eredivisie, the women's handball league in the Netherlands. The away side took three points from the match at De Eindhoven, where they extended their unbeaten run to four games. PSV saw their winning streak come to an end after two victories in their opening three fixtures.

By then the visitors had already shown they could score freely, putting 44 past Vluig en Lijnich Женс on 19 September. Kwiek's form had been steady — a draw with Yuro Unirek followed by a narrow win over Vestsfrisland SEV Women. They came into this fixture fourth on four points, one behind the hosts.

PSV had started brightly enough, beating MVV 81 34-24 in their opening game on 5 September. They drew 29-29 with Ferhoolte before that, and had lost only once in their last five matches going back to April. But Wednesday's result dropped them further from the top, even though five points still keeps them in second place.

The visitors now sit on four points from three games, having never lost. That draw with Yuro Unirek was the only blemish on their record so far. They were the side that took the bigger result here, and the scoreline reflects a game they controlled more than they let slip.

PSV remain second with five points, a gap of one separating them from Kwiek. Both sides have played three matches, so the table is still taking shape. The hosts will need to respond if they want to maintain their position at the upper end of the standings.
