Kvinneligaen Round 3 (Regular Season): Ullern is defeated by Ulriken

After 3 rounds played we can already see who rules in the Kvinneligaen and who belongs to weaker ones. Coincidentally all hosts won their games. Here is the last round review presented by LBM Management.

The game between Ullern (2-2) and Ulriken (2-1) was the most important one in the last round on Sunday night. Ullern was defeated by Ulriken in Bergen 84-70. It was a great evening for the former international guard Stine Austgulen (180-1994, college: Colorado St.) who led her team to a victory scoring 15 points and 6 assists. ex-international guard Siena Sanford (177-2008) helped adding 20 points. The best for the losing side was Italian point guard Micol Torresani (160-1998) with 6 points, 14 assists and 4 steals. Both coaches used bench players which allowed the starters a little rest for the next games. Ulriken will have a break next round, and it should allow them to practice more before next game. Ullern will play on the road against Baerum (#5) in Sandvika and it may be a tough game between close rivals.
Very significant was Froya's (#1, 3-0) victory against Ullern (2-2) 88-53. It was an exceptional evening for American guard Maddi Cluse (178, college: Clemson) who led the winners and scored 19 points, 8 rebounds and 9 assists. Nija Collier accounted for 15 points and 12 rebounds. The former international center Tori Halvorsen (183-1988, college: American) came up with a double-double by scoring 13 points and 13 rebounds for Ullern in the defeat. The winner was already known earlier in the game, so both coaches allowed to play the bench players saving starting five for next games. Froya will play against Skjetten (#7) on the road in the next round which should be theoretically another easy game. Ullern will play against Baerum in Sandvika and it may be a tough game between close rivals.
The game in Sandvika was also quite interesting. Ammerud (1-3) played at the court of Baerum (1-1). Baerum defeated Ammerud 83-67 on Sunday.
