23-2 when the game clock showed five minutes played.
Behind Luleå's flying start: shooting guard Bria Goss, who was unstoppable and was behind 14 of Luleå's points.
A cold shower Södertälje never recovered from.
The team certainly came closer, not least thanks to veteran Frida Eldebrink (21 points in total), but did not manage to reverse the deficit.
- We set the tone from the start in defence, then we continue the whole match.
I like to see that, says Ellen Nyström afterwards.
Win the regular season - with one week to go
And your opening, you lead 23-2?
- Yes.. but for us it doesn't matter how much we are up to, we still try to think: "next possession, next defense, next offense".
So whether we're up by 30 or down by 30, we try to play the same.
The victory means that Luleå has already secured victory in the regular season with two games left to play.
Something that is rewarded with home field advantage throughout the playoffs.
And make Luleå the clear favorite for the SM gold.
Team captain: "We will not miss down"
Luleå has also defeated Södertälje in all three meetings this season, including the cup.
What does it mean to you to beat league runner-up Södertälje in this way?
- We are playing very well and this shows that we will not slow down.
We always play aggressively and whoever has the best shot, shoots, says Ellen Nyström.
