Angels are fighting against Leverkusen to win!

In an exciting basketball game, the Nördlinger Angels met the Wings from Leverkusen, who arrived at the Panthers from Osnabrück after a short start of the start. For the Angels who fought some problems last season, this was an opportunity to demonstrate their skills. Especially the US player Nicole Scales and Greta Kröger brought energy to the field and quickly caused points. During the initial phase, the Angels had trouble staying in the game, but soon the sheet turned.

The turn came when Lotta Vehka-Aaho, a talented Finn in the ranks of the Angels, converted her first of a total of five threes in the fourth minute. This set the game a new dynamic and led the Nördlingen women to the 8: 6 lead. Leverkusen's Kröger reacted immediately with his own three-point throw, but Vehka-Hao was not asked for long and followed up with another goal. The team from Nördlingen was able to settle 27:17 within a very short time and ended the first quarter with a solid cushion.

halftime score and the course of the game

The fishingers also focused on the defensive in the second quarter. Laura Schinkel and the entire team played determined and left little chances for Leverkusen. With an impressive number of nine balls, the Angels demonstrated that they were also strong in the defense, although the 13 ball losses on the team could also not be ignored. Despite these weaknesses, Leverkusen did not succeed in taking advantage of the Angels, and Nördlingen went into the half -time break with a clear lead of 52:37

The Angels' trainer had set a clear goal for this course of the game. Important focus was on the free throw quota, which was to be 80 % over the entire season. Compared to the opening game, in which the quota was not optimal, the players have now been significantly improved, even though they still remained two percentage points behind their destination.

Overall, the Angels demonstrated a strong team performance, which was supplemented by individual strengths such as the accurate throws of Vehka-AHO, which actively revived the offensive. Nördlingen will probably draw a lot of positive things from this encounter, while Leverkusen has to accept the next challenge to free himself from the early seasonal.
