SAINT-QUENTIN TT Completes Stunning Comeback to Reach Champions League Semifinals

In the quarterfinals of the Champions League Women, SAINT-QUENTIN TT advanced to the next stage after overcoming a 0-3 defeat in the opening leg. LINZ AG Froschberg, previously unbeaten in Europe this season, suffered their first loss and failed to regain control in the golden match.

After securing a convincing win in France, LINZ AG Froschberg was unable to capitalize on their advantage and fell at home.

“We didn’t think about the first leg; we were just focused on taking it match by match today,” explained LUTZ, who had defeated Britt EERLAND today.

Polina MIKHAILOVA edged out Suthasini SAWETTABUT in a five-game thriller, while Linda BERGSTRÖM overcame Ivana MALOBABIĆ in four games.

“We are really happy to reach the semifinals, especially after defeating Linz, because we lost to them last year. We also had a tough week in the French league, which makes this victory even more special. We lost 3-0 to Metz and failed to reach the playoffs, finishing 7th when only the top 6 qualify,” said LUTZ.

Reflecting on the golden match, she added:

“There was a lot of tension, but I was confident that my teammates could win the next two games, so I didn’t put too much pressure on myself.”

Meanwhile, ttc berlin eastside and KTS ENEA SIARKOPOL Tarnobrzeg also secured their spots in the semifinals yesterday.
