The championship favorite from Vienna favorites was already ahead following six minutes at the Traunsee with 17:8. Coach Aramis Naglic’s team did not allow the Swans to make a comeback in the very well-attended arena in Gmunden. However, there was a moment of shock for BC Vienna: Top scorer Andre Jones (14.2 points per game over the course of the season) was eliminated following only three minutes of play with a thigh injury. In the third period, the guests achieved their highest lead with 67:44 (29th min.).
Daniel Friedrich was named the “Most Valuable Player” (“MVP”) and thus also the “Most Valuable Austrian Actor” (“MVAP”) of the season. That was little consolation for the Swans captain following the final siren.
In addition to the second championship title following 2013, the Viennese can also fix the first double in the club’s history on Saturday. Not only the 2-0 lead in the final series speaks for them, but also the fact that they are unbeaten in home games in the season that is coming to an end. The impressive result so far is 18:0 (the additional game once morest the Oberwart Gunners in the placement round was not played, note).
