Bietigheim starts with self-confidence

The self-confidence was high, Bietigheim has won all of the season’s games so far and, after beating Herning-Ikast, has 49 wins in a row. In this way, the SG had secured the German championship for the third time early in May.

Accordingly motivated by the series of successes, the Gaugisch protégés went to work. The German guests determined the game and were always able to break away by four goals. In the second half, the dominance of the women from Bietigheim became even greater, but the victory was suddenly in danger despite a 32:28 lead. Only the eighth goal by Karolina Kudlacz-Gloc at the final score shortly before the end finally made everything clear.
