With a solid team performance, HC Empor Rostock fought for its third win of the season on the 13th matchday and scored 6:20 points. HCE transition coach Tristan Staat reacted to the initial 3-goal lead of the guests from Großwallstadt with a second circle player, which didn’t fail to have an effect. Rostock scored four times in a row and caught up the deficit. With a 5:0 run by the hosts by the end of the first half, they went into the break with a 15:12 lead. In the second half, Rostock gradually increased their lead. By the 48th minute, the Baltic Sea townspeople were already gone with eight goals (26:18). Towards the end, TV Großwallstadt was able to do some cosmetic work on the result, so that both teams separated at 29:24.
For Rostock, the victory meant two important points in order to keep up with the non-relegation places. HSG Konstanz is one point ahead of eighteenth in the table. The saving 15th or 16th place is currently occupied by VfL Eintracht Hagen and HC Elbflorenz, both of which have eight points. Next Friday, with the game at HSG Konstanz, the HCE can expect not only the duel against the direct table neighbors (promotion and relegation table), but also his longest away trip of the season.
TV Großwallstadt will continue next Saturday at TSV Bayer Dormagen. The traditional club has the next chance to break its negative trend, which it has been following for six games, and the first points since October 22nd. pick up.
