Regensburg women claimed a comfortable 31:15 victory over TUS Lintfort women on Saturday in the 2. Bundesliga. The hosts have been struggling of late, losing their last two matches 24:27 and 19:32, but turned things around here. It was a straightforward afternoon for the eighth-placed side, who had nothing to lose against a opponent that has yet to find a winning formula.
The result keeps Regensburg two points clear in the table, while Lintfort remain in 15th place with zero points from two drawn games. There is not much to separate the bottom of the standings at this stage, but the gap in confidence is evident. Regensburg were left exposed in their previous outings, but here they showed they still have the edge when it matters.
These two sides met back in May, when Regensburg also came out on top 31:25. The pattern was familiar, though the margin was slightly wider today. Lintfort have drawn their last two matches but have yet to score a win, and against a side that has been finding its rhythm, the result was never in doubt.
