win2day AWHL: Lakers Kärnten take the league lead after victory over Graz Huskies

Lakers Kärnten, who came out on top 3:0 in the first meeting of the season, also made the better start on Friday. Adela Vavrova gave the home side the lead in the 13th minute. Graz showed improvement compared to the encounter almost two weeks ago, but were once again beaten. Two short-handed goals within 15 seconds in the middle period put the Carinthians firmly in control. Valentina Ropatsch struck first before Reaghan Pietrowski made it 3:0. The Huskies pulled one back through Simone Graschner, but Alina Hinum sealed the result. The Lakers therefore also took over at the top of the AWHL standings.

The game at the Heidi Horten Arena was held under the motto “Pink the Rink” and dedicated to showing solidarity with cancer patients and their families. After the final siren, the donation of 2.100€ was also presented to Krebshilfe Kärnten.
