- We did very well, I'm new to the team so I have a lot to learn. But it felt good, says Lajahna Drummer, who scored 17 points when she first showed up in the home hall.

In the closing seconds, the home team could puncture the event with a penalty throw. Instead, Luleå countered and Milica Jovanovic got the chance to sign off with a three-pointer. It did not bounce the right way for her and all points remain in Umeå. Judging by the match introduction, no surprise. But the challengers stood for a good promotion.

The stars woke up in the second period

Umeå is the reigning champion. But Luleå is the favorite to take home the gold this season. The reigning champion team responded to the advance talk of running over their guests in the match introduction.

When Lajahna Drummer went 13-3 after just over four minutes, Luleå took time out. It was probably in place. When the period was over, the downside was more than halved.

Luleå got up to speed and started his star acquisitions. In the second period the takeover was gone. Ivey Slaughter, with Euroleague credentials and Montenegrin national team player Milica Jovanovic turned the match to 24-22 with two straight three-pointers.

A victory and a loss for the gold favorite

The team followed until the final period when the home team with Lajahna Drummer in the lead took over and after sweaty last minutes could secure the victory. The American accounted for 17 points in total.

Luleå has already managed to play a match in Basketligan dam. A grand victory against Mark.
