"A collapse that will hurt for a long time"

There were gloomy faces in Luleå after the Swedish Championship final slipped the team out of hand.

Norrköping was superior in the end and was able to secure the gold after winning the last period by a full 19 points margin, and won 92-78.

- It is both.

Norrköping plays very well but there is a lot in Luleå's game ... it is a collapse.

It is a collapse that will hurt for a long time, says SVT Sports expert Nick Rajacic.

Luleå was led by Bria Goss who made a strong effort with 28 points.

Afterwards, the American was in tears.

- It does not feel good, there are many different feelings now.

We could have given up but we struggled.

Everyone on this team fought so hard and I am so proud of how we all competed and how tight sisterhood we have, she says and continues:

- Even though we did not win, there is a lot to learn.

I get older and it is never easy but this is how it is sometimes.

Do you feel proud?

- Pride is an understatement.

This team could have given up when it did not go our way but we fought on.

I'm proud, I love these girls and I know how bad it hurts for them.

I'm one of the leaders in the team ... it hurts, she says.
