Without two top players, the Thuringian Bundesliga handball team struggled for a long time against Buxtehude. Only a spurt in the second half put them on course.

The women's handball team of Thüringer HC has notched up its fifth successive win in the German league. The team of Head Coach Herbert Müller defeated bottom-of-the-table Buxtehuder SV 27:23 (13:12) after improving its performance in the second half. In front of 1,014 spectators, Csenge Kuczora was the best scorer for THC, who remain fourth with 17:7 points, with seven goals.

Without the injured playmaker Natsuki Aizawa and top scorer Johanna Reichert, the club from Thuringia struggled enormously in the first half and even trailed 9:10 at one stage (24. minute) against the courageous underdogs.

The game remained evenly poised up to 17:17 in the 39th minute, before the home side stepped up the pace and goalkeeper Laura Kuske also got into the game better and better. As a result, they produced a 7:1 run to pull 24:18 ahead in the 52nd minute.
