Goals from Nikita Parris, Jill Scott and Melissa Lawley secured a 6-0 aggregate victory over the Austrian side in Manchester.
Jane Ross saw an early penalty saved after the Scotland international had been brought down in the area.
But a dominant opening spell from the hosts was rewarded when Parris stabbed home a rebound after 34 minutes.
Scott curled in a superb second from the edge of the penalty area just before the interval, and Lawley tucked number three in off a post five minutes from full-time.
