U18 women's national team achieves victory and second place at home tournament / DEB-Women's and U16 women's national team each suffer a defeat / U18 national team wins against Denmark
The German women's national team had to admit defeat 0:4 (0:2;0:2;0:0) against the Russian women's team in Switzerland.
Only 38 seconds had been played in the game before Germany had to play outnumbered. It only took the Russians ten seconds for Liana Ganeyeva to take the lead. For a long time the score remained the same and the shares of the game were distributed between both sides. However, the “Women’s Sbornaja” took advantage of another power play and Anna Shokhina netted the goal 29 seconds before the half-time siren.
The middle section also began with a penalty against the DEB-Selection. The German women were almost complete again when Viktoriia Kulishova scored the 3-0. In the 25th minute, two players took a seat in the cooler, so Germany had to play twice as many men. During this time, the Russians were able to further extend their lead through Valeriia Pavlova. The German team went into the final break four goals behind.
Both teams continued to give each other nothing on the ice and the teams repeatedly received penalties. The German women didn't give up and kept fighting, but in the end the players couldn't reward themselves. Russia managed to win the game with a total of four powerplay goals. For the DEB-Women continue on Sunday against the Czech Republic.
Benjamin Hinterstocker, women’s national coach: “Due to being outnumbered early on and conceding a goal, it was a difficult start for us. Nevertheless, the girls fought their way back into the game and the share of the game in the first third was shared between both sides. The next hits also came from our minority. The team tried everything in the last section and showed a good performance, but the Russians are also a strong team. Now we are focusing on tomorrow’s game against the Czech Republic and the girls will give everything to make the game successful.”

The German U18 women's national team wins their final game against Switzerland 4:0 (1:0;1:0;2:0) and ends up in second place behind Japan and ahead of Switzerland and Slovakia.
After Japan had beaten Slovakia 6-0 at midday, the German team faced Switzerland in a direct duel for second place at the home tournament in Bad Tölz. Both teams neutralized each other in the opening minutes. The German team took control as the game progressed. A slap shot by Franziska Klinger in the fifth minute was deflected by a teammate in front of the Swiss goal, but only hit the post. The German team continued to dominate the game, but was not consistent enough in the final stages. On the other hand, Tatjana Pfeifer kept her team in the game. The referee had just called a penalty against Switzerland, but Klinger did not even wait for the power play. Fine Raschke crossed at the blue line, Klinger took aim and sank the puck on the stick hand side to give Germany a 1-0 lead.
32 seconds into the second period, Klinger beat several opponents and scored her second goal of the evening with a shot into the top corner. The German team launched one attack after another on the opposing goal. In the 25th minute, Annabella Sterzik was narrowly stopped by Caroline Spies in the Swiss goal. Just a minute and a half later, Jennifer Miller hit the crossbar with a shot. Both teams continued to play at a high pace, but the German defense was able to successfully intercept the Swiss's advances again and again. The team went into the dressing room with a 2-0 lead.
In the first minutes of the last period, the German team had difficulty continuing to control the game. Switzerland allowed less space and immediately attacked when a German player had possession of the puck. Four and a half minutes before the end, the German team had another power play opportunity. One minute of the penalty had expired when Ronja Hark passed to Sarah Kubiczek, who only had to hold out her stick and deflected the puck into the goal to make it 3-0. Switzerland tried everything again when there was a German penalty shortly before the end, taking their goalkeeper off the ice. But the DEB-Selection defended well and Kubiczek made it 4-0 with a goal into the empty goal.
Franziska Busch, U18 women’s coach: “We played a very good game today and deserved to win. The team delivered a concentrated and disciplined performance over 60 minutes. She stuck to the instructions and worked hard patiently, third by third. Thanks to our solid defense, we were able to take advantage of our offensive opportunities today. The team would like to thank the tournament organization and the EC Bad Tölz for the excellent organization of this tournament, which provided us with important insights on the way to the World Cup.”

In the first of two comparisons, the German U16 women's national team in Klastereč nad Ohri against hosts Czech Republic 2-0 (1:0;0:0;1:0).
The Czechs took the lead in the second minute with a power-play goal. The German team, which had to do without a total of eight regular players due to playing in the U18 women's national team and injuries, was hardly impressed by the early deficit and subsequently came up with some good offensive actions of their own, but unfortunately without success.
In the middle section, the action shifted predominantly to the German half, also due to many penalty times. But with fighting spirit and the outstanding goalkeeper Felicity Luby, even a double outnumbered situation of almost two minutes was overcome.
The hosts were also clearly superior in the final third. Germany was only able to launch dangerous counterattacks occasionally and was mainly concerned with preventing further goals. This worked until 62 seconds before the end, when a deflected shot made the decision.
Both teams will cross bats again tomorrow at 13 p.m. We will have to do without Chanel Hofverberg, who is out with a knee injury.
U16 Women's national coach Florian Neumayer: “The Czechs’ victory is okay.
Despite the necessary changes in the team, we showed an impressive performance with many inexperienced players.”
