Wolves celebrate reaching the finals!
Wolves celebrate reaching the finals!
The next big goal of the season has been achieved: Our women's team won this evening against UBSC DBBC Graz with a confident 91:51, winning the "Best of 3" series 2:0 and booking their ticket for the final series for this year's national championship title.
Play-off time under difficult conditions: The team around head coach Lana Petrovic unfortunately had to do without Nina Krisper and Loulou Kenes in the second game of the semi-final series, both of whom had to miss out due to injury. However, this circumstance did not affect the aim of securing a place in the final in the second game. On the contrary: The Wolves exceeded their own expectations offensively in the first ten minutes and quickly secured a double-digit lead through strong team play and a high hit rate. With a score of 28:11 after ten minutes, they already had a comfortable cushion in the bag.
After a short dry spell at the beginning, they carried this momentum into the second half of the game and were able to distance themselves even further from the Graz team, thanks in particular to a very concentrated defensive performance. They went into the break with a score of 48:26 and a lead of 22 points.
After the break, Inga Orekhova also got a well-deserved break, but the guests were unable to catch up. Our Wolves were too focused and confident that evening and never let the game slip from their grasp.
In the end, the score was a well-deserved 91:51 victory, meaning our Wolves are in the final of this year's play-offs and will play against the winner of the Duchess Klosterneuburg vs UBI Graz duel for this year's title. The first game of the final series will take place on Saturday, March 30th, on home turf at 8:15 p.m.!
