Basketball, Second Bundesliga South Women
Rhein-Main Baskets ?? Qool Sharks Würzburg 53:52 (13:18, 2:15, 16:15, 22:4)
The Qool Sharks from Würzburg were only too familiar with the course of the game, according to the club’s press release on the away game at the Rhein-Main Baskets in Langen. But in the other direction: The bitter 52:53 defeat in the top game of the Second Bundesliga South was reminiscent of the narrow home win against Bad Homburg. At that time, the guests were already leading in Würzburg with 19 points and ultimately lost with the hosts’ last throw.
This time the Würzburg women started strong and focused in defense, grabbed the defensive rebounds and were also lucky in the second quarter that Langen did not hit his free throws either. The clear 33:15 lead at halftime was also deserved.
17-point lead lost
After changing sides, however, the Würzburg women made mistakes. The team defense suddenly didn’t work properly anymore, the hosts got several offensive rebounds and suddenly regained the belief in a victory, although the Sharks were still leading with 17 points after the third quarter.
The last quarter was the opposite of the second. The Sharks allowed themselves “a lot of unnecessary ball losses” and the throws did not want to fall under the basket.
With the final siren, the Rhein-Main Baskets, who had previously caught up, achieved a so-called “Buzzerbeater” at 53:52 through their player Pia Dietrich. It was a “not undeserved victory”, it is said in conclusion.
Already on Saturday, November 13th, the team of trainer Janet Fowler-Michel can prove in the home game against TSV Speyer / Schifferstadt (5.30 p.m.) that they belong to the top group in the second Bundesliga South this season as well.
Würzburg: Dröll 4, Zimmermann 2, Böhmke 3/1, Wahl 6, Kirchhoff 7/1, Hanson 3, Muck 9, Wenemoser 3, Bertholdt 7, Daub 5.
