In the semi-finals, the Freiburg surprisingly prevailed against the defending champions Rutronik Stars Keltern, while the Rheinland Lions got the upper hand against the Panthers Osnabrück.
After 2011, it is the second participation in the final series for the Freiburg women. “We’re all really happy. The happy hormones are just flowing,” said coach Harald Janson after the 93:91 win in Keltern.
The decision was made in the last few seconds – after a missed three-pointer by the Freiburg team with a score of 91:91, Keltern had the chance to win. After a bad pass on the offensive, the kingfishers made the decision – and left the defending champions shocked.
The kingfishers won the first game in the best-of-three series with 77:74.
