The Bundesliga handball players of Thüringer HC put up a great fight against HB Ludwigsburg, but run after a deficit in vain. They lack penetration in attack.

The women's handball club Thüringer HC has lost a home game in the German league for the first time in six months. The team of Head Coach Herbert Müller was narrowly beaten 22:23 (11:13) by HB Ludwigsburg in the top game.

With nine goals, Johanna Reichert was once again the best scorer for THC, who now have 29:11 points, in front of 1,419 spectators. The Ludwigsburg club, for whom international Antje Döll scored six times, extended its lead in the table with 36:2 points.

The visitors started confidently, ran the ball quickly and led 5:3 after seven minutes. THC then stepped up the intensity in defense considerably. The home side went eight-and-a-half minutes without conceding a goal and turned the deficit into a 7:5 lead in the 15th minute.

Fight to the end

However, a certain dependency on Reichert was already evident in this phase. As Ludwigsburg adjusted better to the league's top scorer, THC's attacking flow slackened.

After the break, the home side also found it very difficult against the agile defense of the league leaders and also repeatedly failed to score against HB goalkeeper Johanna Bundsen. However, the visitors were unable to pull away decisively because they were very error-prone in attack.

The THC fought fiercely and reduced the deficit to 21:22 in the 58th minute, also thanks to the impetus of the increasingly strong goalkeeper Dinah Eckerle. However, the visitors held their nerve and saved the narrow lead.
