Zug women convince with compulsory victory
The handball team of LK Zug clearly outclassed outsiders GC Amicitia Zurich with 33:20.
«Today’s victory was thanks to a great team effort. We were compact in cover and every player fought for every ball. The ball was let loose in the offensive area and that’s how we scored our goals», said Zug’s goalkeeper Jennifer Abt with satisfaction after the sovereign 33:20 win over bottom-placed GC Amicitia Zurich. The SPL1 team of head coach Christoph Sahli thus fulfilled their duty. The game was balanced up to the 20th minute (10:8). As a result, the hosts in the sports hall sat down clearly and showed their strengths. The goal sequence: 15:9 (26th); 19:11 (34th) and 25:15 (45th). Ultimately, the tenth win for the LKZ leads in the twelfth game. Zug’s Stefanie Eugster was outstanding with seven goals, while Zurich’s Leonie Aellen stood out with nine goals. With 20 points, the LKZ remains in close contact with the top duo, which is led by the Spono Eagles (13/23) and Brühl (14/21). After losing points, the Zugerinnen (12/20) are even in second place two games before the end of the qualification.
Anticipation for Derby
With that, the LKZ goes into the central Swiss derby next Wednesday (8:15 p.m., sports hall) against the leader Spono Eagles. It would be very important to fight for more points in order to create a good starting position for the expected final round (top 4). In the Swiss Cup quarter-finals, the LKZ meets league rivals Gelb Winterthur on February 23 (8:15 p.m., sports hall).
