Wolves win the double!

Wolves win the double!

The sensation is perfect: In their first win2day BDSL season, our SKN St. Pölten women have also won the national championship title! In the third league final match against UBI Holding Graz, the Wolves had to wait a long time, just as they did in the first two games of the series. But in the end, they lifted the trophy!

The Graz team started with a high pace and a lot of pressure, allowing them to pull ahead early and even extend their lead to eleven points in the second quarter. After the break, the Lower Austrians found a better rhythm, and the Styrians also missed easy points at the free throw line. The fact that the SKN could not take complete control was also due to the fact that the UBI players were strong defensively and on the rebound. The final quarter started at 51:51, where an open exchange of blows developed. The star players on both sides now took on responsibility. With three minutes to go, the SKN women were ahead 64:63. The cup winners from St. Pölten were now able to deal with the immense pressure a little better. Thanks to a strong team performance, they scored the last points of the game to make the final score 71:64, sweeping the final series and securing the first title in the club's history!

The Finals MVP is former WNBA Inga Orekhova, who drew the attention of the Graz defense throughout the series, contributed important points in the decisive moments and led her team with her experience throughout the season!
