TBV Lemgo Lippe storms into the final: 31:26 win against TuS N-Lübbecke!

TBV Lemgo Lippe reached the final of the 36th Spielo Cup today with a convincing 31:26 win against TuS N-Lübbecke. The encounter took place in the MERKUR Arena and started with a delay of 17 minutes, as the previous semi-final between GWD Minden and HSG Nordhorn-Lingen resulted in an exciting seven-meter throw, which Minden won 36:35. But the wait was worth it, because TBV showed a strong performance and secured a place in the final, which is tomorrow at 5 p.m., against GWD Minden.

The game, which was intense and physical from the start, brought some exciting moments. Joel Willecke opened the game for Lemgo with three goals in a row, but that wasn't enough to overtake TuS N-Lübbecke early on. In the first half, the TBV struggled with a slight defensive weakness, but Jan Mudrow's equalizer to 7:7 after a narrow lead for the opponents was enough to turn things around. With a 3-0 run shortly before the break, Lemgo was finally able to take the lead with 13:12 and left the hall at halftime with a wafer-thin lead of 14:13.

Tension until the last minute

The second half delighted the spectators with exciting scenes. Despite a classic equalizer from Niko Blaauw when they were outnumbered, which made the score 20:20, Lemgo was always able to catch up. Ten minutes before the end of the game, TBV pulled away with a 25:23, a lead they maintained until the end. Constantin Möstl, who shone with several strong saves in the decisive phase, ensured that TuS N-Lübbecke had no further chances.

Particularly noteworthy were the strong performances of Jan Mudrow and Niels Versteijnen, who each contributed six goals to the final result. Leve Carstensen made the final score 31:25. It was an emotional win for Lemgo, which resulted in Joel Willecke being named the tournament's top goalscorer.
