Coaching staff:
„Today we came out with a well-deserved win against a strong Romanian team, in a game that closely resembled our battle against Austria. After a slow and inconsistent first half, the girls showed great resilience and stepped up when it mattered most. In the final quarter, we were able to pull away thanks to our energy, teamwork, and fresher legs. Every player contributed to this important victory. Up next is Bulgaria — a tough, physical opponent against whom we lost twice during the preparation. Once again, the team will need to show character and fighting spirit to earn the chance to play for 9th place. »
