Umeå IK is on the brink of the abyss financially.
- If we don't get money in, there is a risk that we will have to shut down, said chairman Krister Ruth earlier this week.
It is increased travel costs that have brought Umeå to its knees.
The local ice hockey team Björklöven reacts by donating the ticket revenue from a section of the next two home games to Umeå IK.
Vilma Koivisto "Simple goals"
But the team cannot get any help on the field.
Despite an early lead goal, it was a 1–3 loss against Örebro.
Vilma Koivisto was not satisfied that Örebro was able to turn the match around.
- I think that Örebro's counterattacks are very dangerous.
Then we just have to go home faster and win duels.
They have scored fairly simple goals now, she says at half-time to Viaplay.
Before Örebro's turnaround, it was Koivisto who scored Umeå's lead goal.
- It was a great attack for us.
There was some other situation in the box and we won it.
Then I got the ball and could only place the ball with my left, she says.
The bottom team lost
But after that there were plenty of Örebro chances and before the break Michaela Kovacs, Heidi Kollanen and Berglind Agustsdottir had completely turned the game around.
It is Umeå's fourth straight loss in the women's league.
However, you lose nothing to the other teams in the battle for the bottom.
AIK and Brommapojkarna, who are currently on opposite sides of Umeå, lost their matches against Eskilstuna and Häcken respectively.
