For the first time in the club's history, the fistballers from St. Veit are in the final three of the Bundesliga. The women from Pongau want to surprise there. While the players are tense, coach Lukas Lässer is trying to stay cool.

Only three teams are still fighting for the championship title! On Friday and Saturday, the champion of the women's national league will be decided in Linz. St. Veit will be taking part for the first time in the club's history. "For me as a coach it's a bigger story, as a player I've experienced events like this before," says coach Lukas Lässer, who wants to keep his cool.

At 5 p.m., the team from Pongau will play for the second place in the final against Münzbach, who are third in the league. The winner will face the defending champions and top favorites Freistadt in the final on Saturday. A place in the final is possible (they last won against Münzbach) and the declared goal: "We clearly want to reach the final. It will be very difficult there against Freistadt, but not impossible either."

According to coach Lässer, his players have been under pressure for weeks. Before the top three place was fixed and now too. "They'll be really nervous," smiles the Swiss, who has experienced a lot as a former national team player and wants to use his experience to have a positive impact on his team.
