The club was close already last season, with Klara Lundquist returning from professional life in France as an important top signing.
Ironically, the team fell in what became the season's last match, in the summit at home against Luleå, 78-86.
There was thus a difference of four points in the table to runner-up Alvik and the championship title was awarded with that position as a basis.
- I think almost everyone in the team cried, it was very sensitive, we felt that now we had the chance to take that gold and did not know if we would be allowed to do it again.
But we talked together, we said, it is clear that we will run another season and hope that they do not shut down again, says the national team guard to SVT Sport before the "revenge meeting" against a Luleå that lost the Americans Ivey Slaughter and Natisha Hiedemann.
However, the guests have brought home Ellen Nyström and Josefin Vesterberg, national team player with a heart in Luleå Basket, a home-woven theme that Alvik is also trying to use.
Cleaning help of the stars
Team captain Paula Juhlin works at the office and assists with most things to get the business going.
When we meet the team, the vacuum cleaner goes forward to keep a nice place in the stands, let alone that the home support is now limited to almost only TV audiences.
Even well-deserved American star Janel McCarville, a 38-year-old center who has won the WNBA and Euro League, pulls in when things get tough.
The family spirit is strong and then there is no room for divalates.
- I have no problem with putting away the ego and sweeping the floor so that we have a clean floor or refilling water bottles if needed.
I love my teammates and do everything necessary for us to win.
If it helps, I will do it, says McCarville, who wants another championship title with him before his career is summed up.
