First victory for A2 women: overwhelming 81:40 against Taipei!

While the Cologne basketball fans continued to watch the developments in the FISU, there was a joyful result for the A2 women today: they won their last group game against Chinese Taipei with 81:40. This represents their first victory in the group phase, after they unfortunately went away empty-handed in the first two games, as reported by the Basketball-Bund.

Head coach Stefan Möller and his team were visibly relieved. Despite the lack of the battered Nichole Brochlitz, the girls managed to take off the initial nervosity. The starting line -up, consisting of Greta Kröger, Franka Wittenberg, Nina Rosemeyer, Merit Brennecke and Eléa Gaba, started like the fire brigade. After only two minutes they already led 6-0, with Franka Wittenberg scored the first points.

dominance from the beginning

The German defensive did not allow any points in the first few minutes and it quickly became apparent that the team was well positioned. Kröger screwed the lead to 10: 0, and when Taipei also scored his first points, Germany remained dominant and expanded the lead to 47:17 in the first half. In the first quarter they already led 44:15, which was a pleasure for the audience.

In the further course of the game, Germany presented itself as the more determined team. Above all, patience in the game and the high hit rate were remarkable - a trademark of this team in this crucial game. "We played much better than in the previous game against Poland and the players made great decisions," said Möller after the game.

placement games in focus

Although the victory is gratifying, it means that the Möller team does not reach the quarter -finals. Instead, you are now focusing on the upcoming placement games. The team will have to prove itself in these encounters to end the tournament positively.

A high for the team spirit and the first well-deserved victory of the A2 women-now it is "keeping up" and preparing for the next challenges in the tournament!
