- Högsbo had a real monster on the field today.
We had no real answer to stop it today, states Lovisa Hjern in Norrköping in SVT's broadcast.
After an even first half week, Norrköping pulled away and led with 13 points four minutes into the third period.
It could have been a match-winning jerk.
But Högsbo led by points queen Alexis Hyder stood for an outstanding pick-up.
The American scored just 13 points in the last five minutes of the third period and started the fourth with five new points in just over a minute.
- We really wanted to win, I did everything I could to help my team move on.
33 points was my best before this, this came in the right position.
The 26-year-old from Texas did everything right and was clinical from the three-point line.
Five out of six attempts went in.
When she was not allowed to shoot from the outside, she was hardly worse.
In total, she scored 46 points and took eleven rebounds.
It is the highest score for an individual player this season and the third best in SBL of all time.
- I can not really explain it.
It was an out-of-body experience, it just felt good.
I felt in my heart that we would win today so I did everything I could for us to do it, she says in SVT's broadcast.
Norrköping, which is without its star guard Chanelle Molina, who has been injured and missed the entire quarter-final series, did not have much to oppose when Hyder settled on a level above everyone else.
Instead, it will be Högsbo who will take on the series winner and gold favorite Alvik in the semifinals next week.
- I can not look into the future but I know that we will give everything we have.
We had a good match against them earlier this year, we hope we can build on that, says Alexis Hyder.
