ASV Hamm-Westfalen narrowly missed it on Wednesday evening to end the successful streak of their opponents in the game against TV Großwallstadt, which they made up on matchday 17. In the end the teams parted after a dramatic final in the WESTPRES arena with 30:30 (17:17), the TVG remains without defeat with 8: 2 points this year.
While the guests cheered the point loudly after the last free throw by ASV backcourt Marian Orlowski, who just missed the housing, the result felt like a lost point for the Westphalia immediately after the end of the game. After all, a quarter of an hour before the end, the hosts were still 27:22 ahead, but did not manage to defend the lead until the end. “It doesn’t feel good after five goals plus,” said ASV coach Michael Lerscht immediately after the game. “We wanted to keep the result flatter, 30 goals were too many for that. But I don’t want to ruin that. The boys fought today and were there from the start. We have shown presence. One must not forget that TV after Hamburg is the team of the hour. But after the lead, it’s just annoying, ”said Lerscht, whose team was no longer ahead after Jan Brosch’s 6: 5 lead in the tenth minute until the break.
That changed only in the second section. Jo Gerrit Genz threw the ASV into the lead at 18:17, the ASV now set the tone. With a double strike, Jan von Boenig gave the Westphalia their first three-goal lead within 47 seconds in the 39th minute. Fabian Huesmann and the six-time goalscorer Orlowski subsequently even expanded this to five goals in the 41st minute. But the guests should only enjoy the tour for a few minutes. Großwallstadt, who came with the self-confidence of the third best away team in the league, did not give up and fought their way back thanks to the dangerous goal Marko Matijasevic. The important equalizer about half a minute before the end was scored by someone else: The reactivated veteran Michael Spatz converted his fourth seven-meter throw at 30:30 as usual. The 38-year-old team manager has been helping out until the end of the season because of the injury to right winger Pierre Busch since the beginning of the second half of the season. Orlowski’s last throw, however, did not find its way to the finish line.
TVG trainer Ralf Bader was correspondingly satisfied: “That was a nerve-wracking game. In the first half, out of our own stupidity, we get a few time penalties too many, for example because of a mistake or due to the allusion circle, so we bring ourselves out of the rhythm. In the second half, some things didn’t work that way and Hamm brutally exploited that. I then basically tried it with the second guard with a clear assignment and we are lucky that it works. “
While the guests have to compete in Rimpar again on Friday, the ASV will not travel to SG BBM Bietigheim until a week later on Friday.
