The reigning Swedish champions, Masarna, have had a tough start to this season.

Today came the team's third straight loss when they visited Västervik at Hejla Arena.

The home team decided the match in the twelfth heat and eventually won 53-37.

- It's heavy.

We bother about it too much and rethink.

We need to be more tagged the whole team.

There are too many who fail, says Antonio Lindbäck.

"No panic yet"

Before this season, the Masars lost several players, something that naturally affected the team at the start of the season.

- Of course it's hard.

At the same time, if we find each other in the team, we can also become stronger, says Lindbäck.

- We just have to turn this around.

We have to take new steps in the next match, he continues.

But there is still no talk of panic, the team management says.

- We have to be a little smoother.

We have some guys who drive really well.

We have just started so we are fighting.

There is no panic yet, says assistant coach Sebastian Aldén.

Bartosz Smektala and Pawel Przedpelskitar took 13 points each and became the best scorer in Västervik.

Masarnas Piotr Pawlicki finished with 14 points.

The next match for Masarna is on June 29, at home against Lejonen.
