PT Jyväskylä clinched the title in the Finnish Women’s Championship Series, held at Ruskeasuo, Helsinki, with a commanding performance. In the final, they defeated PT Espoo with a decisive 3-0 victory. The standout player for the champions, Maria GIRLEA, remained undefeated throughout the weekend.
“It was fun to play, and I’m really happy with the championship. Thanks to the club for this opportunity,” GIRLEA shared enthusiastically.
Alongside Girlea, the PT Jyväskylä team featured Estonian player Vitalia REINOL and Romanian Dora MOLDOVAN, both celebrating the triumph. PT Espoo, the silver medalists, were represented by Aleksandra TITIEVSKAJA, Polina LEVKINA, and Alisa SINISHIN.
In the battle for bronze, PT 75’s second team pulled off an upset by defeating the club’s first team 3-2.
