In the SWT Arena in Trier, the VET-CONCEPT Gladiators celebrated an important victory in the Easycredit BBL on November 2nd, 2025 by defeating RASTA Vechta 96:87.

In front of 5,368 spectators who rocked the hall, the atmosphere was electric from the start.
Vechta got off to a better start and quickly led 13:3, but the Gladiators couldn't be shaken off. With a clever strategy and a strong team spirit, they countered in the 15th minute and were suddenly in the lead with 33:25. But Vechta didn't give up and secured a narrow lead of 43:41 at halftime.
A drama of superlatives
The second half was the scene of a thrilling comeback. In the third quarter the Gladiators took control as Vechta came under increasing pressure; Behnam Yakhchali received a disqualifying foul. Nevertheless, Vechta managed to briefly take the lead 78:73 in the last quarter. But Trier's strong final spurt decided the game in favor of the hosts. Jordan Roland von Trier and Alonzo Verge from Vechta both shone with 26 points each, which set them personal bests.
The statistics show an exciting duel: Trier achieved a shooting rate of 51%, while Vechta was only slightly better with 53%. Trier also collected 33 rebounds, while Vechta collected 30. When it came to assists, there was a tie with 19 each. A decisive factor in the win was the lower number of ball losses: Trier 16 and Vechta 19.
