Bergheim scratched at the sensation in the first spring match of the women's Bundesliga. In the end, Dusan Pavlovic's team lost 2:4, with a Strobl player scoring for St. Pölten.

Nothing came of the sensation at the serial champions. Bergheim's ladies put up a good fight in the women's national league at St. Pölten, but still lost 2:4 in the end. The game had started lively. Strobler Sophie Hillebrand put the Lower Austrians ahead after ten minutes with a free-kick. Tina Krassnig then equalized to make it 1:1 and later 2:2. After just over an hour, St. Pölten proved their class by adding two more goals. Bergheim are now seventh in the table, with St. Pölten in the lead.

In the second division, FC Pinzgau won the Salzburg derby. The Saalfelden team won 1:0 in Bürmoos, with new signing Reese McDermott scoring the golden goal. The American introduced herself in style with her first goal in her debut game.
