After a fifth place in 2018/19, the women qualified for the Superliga semifinals (best of 3) for the first time. With the Klosterneuburg Duchess, the seven-time champion, eight-time cup triumphant and flawless regular season winner (14 games, 14 wins) will be in the way on Saturday (6 p.m.). “We’ve improved noticeably and want to show our strengths, even if we’re the clear underdog,” said LZ-OÖ player Lara Mendl.
Double event on April 9th
The anticipation for the home game on Saturday, April 9 (2:30 p.m.) is huge. Then Lisa Ganhör, Sonja Andjelkovic & Co. will audition in the pretty Wels Raiffeisen Arena. A double event will take place there according to the motto “Ladies first”. Afterwards (5.30 p.m.) the men of the Raiffeisen Flyers Wels will compete against Traiskirchen. Ideally free from pressure. If the people of Messestadt win today (5.30 p.m.) at the Vienna Timberwolves, the play-off entry would be fixed. However, the Welser have been waiting for an away win at the Viennese since December 14, 2019. “We have a lot to make up for there,” says Waser.
Master Gmunden welcomes the Oberwart Gunners on Sunday (5.30 p.m.) with the best line-up. If Wels and the Swans win, nothing would stand in the way of a quarter-final derby. (Alex)
