Stavenhagen's handball players before a decisive duel against Stralsund!

In handball the atmosphere is often tense, especially when it comes to important games. The handball players from Stavenhagener SV stand loudly Northern Courier before a crucial duel in the regional league. After two defeats in a row, the players want to get back to winning ways next Saturday at 4 p.m. against newly promoted Stralsunder HV. Coach Torsten Richter recognized the importance of this game and emphasized that every point counts in order to consolidate the position in the table.

Stavenhagen is currently in seventh place with 8:10 points, while Stralsund is dangerously close to the relegation zone with 6:12 points. The game not only offers the chance of a win, but could also play a groundbreaking role in the fight against relegation. Stralsund has already proven that they are unpredictable this season - they won a game despite being down 9-1 and ultimately turned the game around 35-27.

Enough reasons for motivation

However, coach Richter has to contend with some challenges. The loss of the injured players Lara Lichtwald and Anna Herbst poses additional difficulties for the team. Richter only had a small team at his disposal during training, which didn't make preparation any easier. Despite these setbacks, the coach shows confidence in his team: “We want to win the game without making excuses.”

In the past, the Stavenhagen women have already shown that they can score points through cohesion and team spirit. An example of this is the most recent victory in the first game of the final round of the state championship, in which they literally swept the guests from Schwaan off the field with 28:14, thanks to an outstanding goalkeeper Annemarie Brandt, who saved over 70 percent of the balls.

Young talent on the rise

While the first ladies are working towards the next victory, there is also positive news in the junior area.

The D-Youth team also made it to the state best with their second place in the preliminary round of the national championships. Such successes not only strengthen team spirit, but are also important steps in the development of the entire club.

On Saturday we can only hope that the SSV women can build on their previous performances and fight for the victory they long for. “We are ready and will give everything,” said Richter optimistically. With this fighting spirit it could be an exciting and competitive game in the Stavenhagen sports hall.
