Thüringer HC wins narrowly against Buxtehuder SV

The women's handball club Thüringer HC has recorded its third away win of the Bundesliga season. The team of Head Coach Herbert Müller ran out lackluster 29:26 (12:12) winners at Buxtehuder SV in front of 804 spectators on Wednesday evening. Johanna Reichert was once again the best scorer for THC, who are in fourth place with 8:4 points. The Austrian international scored nine times.

The Thuringians struggled to get into the game. In attack, they were initially dependent on the individual actions of their top scorer and lacked aggression in defense. After ten minutes, the club from last in the table deservedly led 6:4, before the visitors turned the game around with a 4:0 run to make it 8:6 (16th minute). However, this good spell did not give them any security. THC's attacking play remained poor up to the break. The eye-catching Isabelle Dölle equalized for BSV shortly before the half-time buzzer.

The Thuringians were also unable to inject more pace into their play in the second half. The game thrived on the tension and was on a knife-edge up to 23:23 (49'), before THC pulled away to 27:23 (54') with an energetic spurt in between. The hosts did not give up and fought their way back to 26:27 (58'), but the Thuringians held their nerve and did not let victory slip from their grasp.
