LahBasketball Women claimed a 85:78 victory over BC Nokia II Women in the Women's I Division on Sunday. The home side secured the win at their own court in front of supporters, with the final tally reflecting a hard-fought contest. Both teams finished with competitive numbers, though the hosts held the advantage.
The home team currently sits 13th in the table after 16 games, with six wins and ten defeats to their name. That record has kept them in the lower half of the standings, and this result adds another win to their tally. Nokia II will look to build momentum on the road after the loss.
Recent form for the home side shows mixed results. They lost 65:68 to Lappeenranta in late March, then bounced back with a 77:57 win over Vilpas. Earlier victories included 78:70 against Hyppi Women and a comfortable 84:53 over Jyvaskyla B&W. The 73:66 win over Pirinto II in February rounded out their recent run.
The 85:78 scoreline suggests a game where both sides found the basket regularly. The seven-point margin indicates the match was decided by fine margins rather than a blowout. Neither team dominated from start to finish, with the outcome coming down to execution in key moments.
The result leaves LahBasketball Women on 16 games played with six victories. They remain outside the top positions but have shown they can compete with division opponents. The next fixture will determine whether this win marks a turning point or sits as an isolated result.
