Angel's Angel's Nördlingen convince in the DBBL Cup: 85:76 against Leverkusen!

The owner Angel's Nördlingen qualified on Wednesday evening with a clear 85: 76 winner Leverkusen for the next round in the DBBL Cup. This game, which is the second round of the competition, once again showed the strengths and weaknesses of the newly composed team of Coach Niko Kuusi. After the first two competitive games, the question of the true potential of the team remains in the room.

The Angels, launched after a win in the first round against Freiburg into the game against Leverkusen, do not yet seem to be able to develop their full strength. This was shown in the repeated allocation of simple degrees and reckless mistakes that cost them many points. Laci Hawthorne had a mixed evening and remained behind her offensive possibilities, while Lotta Vehka-Hao stood out as a top scorer and scored 21 points, including five three.

Game course and key player

Leverkusen appeared as a challenger and started the game strongly, among other things through the points of Nicole Scales. However, Nördlingen could quickly counter with a solid team performance. Vehka-AHO took command, and with an impressive three-point throw, the game turned in favor of the Angels. Despite weak degrees, the team was able to work out a comfortable lead of 52:37 until the half -time break.

In the second half, the Nördling women came into play well. Vehka-Hahos fourth three-point game sealed an 11-0 run that laid the foundation for the victory. Despite the failure of her captain Laura Schinkel after the fifth foul, Nördlingen bravely defended and had the freedom obtained consistently used by Leverkusen's Cassidy Mihalko. In the end, the Angels successfully managed their lead.

Outlook for the next challenges

With this victory, Nördlingen has reached the first stage and is now in the round of the last 16 teams in the DBBL Cup. However, the team willing to learn will have to concentrate on their weaknesses in order to remain competitive in the coming games. The next challenge awaits Leverkusen on Sunday, where an improvement in the end is required to continue to be successful.

The game results were as follows: Stonewall (13 points, 6 rebounds), vehka-eah (21 points, 5 triple), Schinkel (10 points), Koch (8 points), Hawthorne (4 points, 10 Rebounds), Jansen (13 points, 3 threes), Hasle-Lagemann (2 points), Berthold (11 points, 1 threesome), Löffler (3 points).

The owner Angel's Nördlingen rely on a combination of experience and fresh talent. For a more precise analysis of the performance and the next steps in the cup competition, further information, at www.augsburger-allgemeine.de .
