The women's handball club Thüringer HC suffered its first defeat on the road in this German league season. The team of Head Coach Herbert Müller unexpectedly lost 31:38 (15:20) at reigning runners-up HSG Bensheim/Auerbach on Saturday evening. In front of 1012 spectators, Johanna Reichert scored seven goals to become the best scorer for the THC, which now has 6:4 points.
The home side also got off to the better start in the second half and quickly stretched the gap to 23:15 (32'). Although the club from Thuringia did not let itself down after that and played its part in an attractive exchange of blows, it was never able to stop the flow of play of the strong Bensheim side and deserved to lose by the same margin.
