Södertälje, with stars such as Frida and Elin Eldebrink, Louice Halvarsson and Klara Lundquist, was expected to be in the final together with Luleå before the season.
But in the semi-final game against last year's champion Norrköping, the team has had a tough time. Tonight they were under pressure to win to force a fifth decisive game and then there was also a win.
14 straight points
The game stood and weighed for a long time, but in the fourth period came a jolt when Södertälje scored 14 straight points and went from 57-59 to 73-57.
"Södertälje stared a historic fiasco straight into the eyes. They were under so much pressure and came out and scored their best half in a long time, says SVT's expert Nick Rajacic in the broadcast.
Been dragged with sensations
The aforementioned star quaret has been plagued by illness and injuries, which has weakened the team. But everyone was involved in the must-play meeting.
Frida Eldebrink injured her hip in the second semifinal match and was not in the stroke in the last meeting. Now she had a slightly better feeling.
"I don't really feel like I have balance when I push away with that leg. It's always nice to put the first shot. It feels like 1000 kilos are dropping from your shoulders, she says in SVT's broadcast.
