Storhamar set the standard in domestic competition from the start. With two solid wins in the first week of league action, the favourite has the number one position and 35–23 away versus top competitor Molde showed good capacity.
Gohandball´s preview of the season in the women’s league had the expert Bent Svele present Storhamar as the winning candidate. Since Vipers Kristiansand is out of the game, Storhamar will look forward to moving up the ladder to the very top.
There was no contest when Storhamar distanced Molde, the guests created a gap mid-first half and worked on towards 11–18 on the board at half time.
Mathilde Rivas-Toft scored eight times but the player of the match was found between the posts, Eli Marie Raasok produced 14 saves.
– I think we show that we have a little more desire than them. When they get behind, we push on. There is a bit of a difference in quality too, she said to TV2 afterwards.
Molde HB–Storhamar HB 23–35 (11–18)
