Linz gets national team players
Champion BSC70 Linz got exciting commitments with the Austrian national team players Serena Au Yeong and Gustav Andree, among others. These became necessary because, according to new regulations, more Austrians now have to be deployed. “We will be the champions of the hunted, but there are stronger teams, at least on paper,” says BSC team manager Reinhard Hechenberger, naming achieving the championship play-offs as the primary goal. The people of Linz will welcome newly promoted WBH Wien in the AHS Solar City (3 p.m.) today. “Vienna can play freely,” says Hechenberger, who expects a season with five similarly strong teams. (pue)
