- It was not a normal charge but we knew what to do.
We adapt well and finish the match pretty well.

Having covid-19 so close to you has been difficult.
About the covid so close: "It was uncomfortable"
- It was nice that we got the corona when it was plus degrees and not minus 25 but it took because we were not allowed to be in the hall.
It was uncomfortable because it came so close but our coaches kept in touch with the doctors.
But as long as you do not feel something, you should not worry about it, Rosendahl thinks.
It was too big a class difference for Visby to be able to disturb Umeå, which was led by Janee Thompson who scored 26 points.
- We get a little tired and can not bear it.
We are happy with the moments where we could stop them with a good defense, says Visby's Johanna Persson who misses the audience.
- It will be more like a training match, we usually have around 300, but we are getting used to it now.
