The Women’s Team wins the EWHL Euro Cup thanks to a 3-2 victory over ECDC Memmingen in the final.

However, they were under a lot of pressure in defense, as the shooting ratio made clear: 29:23 for the Hungarians. They suffered a similar fate on Sunday in the match for third place against local rivals MAC Budapest: 2:3 defeat after extra time despite 40:26 shots on goal. The game-winning goal was scored by Hungary’s record goalscorer Alexandra Huszák just eight seconds into overtime.
