The home team continues to win – Nilsson great match hero for Skuru

Yesterday was a full round of the women’s quarterfinals in the playoffs, and once again it was the home teams who won their matches. Stack out made Rebecca Nilsson with 53 in save percentage for Skuru against Skövde.

Wednesday offered four quarter-finals.

In Partille, Sävehof took on Hallby. Both teams had previously won a match each, both at home, and now it was once again Sävehof’s turn to win.

The teams kept each other level at 4–4 before Sävehof pulled away.

– We stuck to what we had decided today and if you look at the individual performances, it is a very much higher level today. We killed the rhythm and timing in their attacking game, which meant that we had to run at them, says Jesper Östlund, Sävehof’s coach, on the club’s website after the match.

The Partille gang then scored six straight goals and never let go of the game after that.

– The fact that we stopped their seven-six is ​​a big reason why it went better today, says Östlund.
