After a loss to title contenders Magdeburg last weekend, Flensburg bounced back with a 32–35 win away to Melsungen.
With Magdeburg one point ahead and with a game in hand, Flensburg were under pressure to win against Melsungen if they wanted to stay in the title race. The game was tight all the way through, but thanks to an impressive offensive display, Flensburg managed to secure the two points.
Separately from that game, Lemgo, who have had a surprisingly good start to the season, took on Eisenach. Lemgo took care of business fairly easily, winning 28–19, and move up to third place in the Bundesliga.
