The season started on Saturday with all games played in two venues in Hannover.  Heidelberg returned to the top division and handed Victoria Harris her professional debut, but saw their opener spoiled by Megan Mullings and Gottingen 64-58.  Freiburg had two players making their professional debuts in Sam Fuehring and Jess Genco as they beat Jordan Korinek and Halle 73-68.  Keltern wasted no time in sending a message to the rest of the league, rolling to an 86-38 win over Saarlouis, which did give Jessica Kovatch her first professional game.  Wasserburg also has a point to prove and started with a 70-57 win over Hannover.  Leslie Vorpahl led Donau-Ries past Marbug, which did get a professional debut from Candice White.  A great game ended the long day as Herner’s first game since becoming champions was tougher than expected against Brittany Carter and Osnabruck, but Jordan Frericks helped them win 75-73 and Kennedy Leonard made her professional debut while the new promoted side gave a professional debut to Katie McWilliams.

The championship came down to one last game on Saturday.  Road teams had success all series long and Herner was wary of the threat of Ezinne Kalu and Keltern, but used a fast start to win 80-60.  After years of domination by one team, this league is now wide open and all teams will have to plan carefully for next season.

The second game of this series was played on Saturday.  Wasserburg built on their lead early, but Katie Yohn and Marburg stormed back.  A big fourth quarter did get them the 79-67 win, but that was not enough to flip the overall margin and the visitors prevailed 155-147 overall.

The league uses the unusual format of the lower seed hosting Games 1 and 4 so Keltern had the chance to take an early lead on Wednesday, which they did with a 70-59 win behind Jasmine Thomas.  Herner will now host the next two games on Friday and Sunday.

The lower seeds hosted the midweek games with the hopes of keeping their championship aspirations alive.  On Tuesday, Wasserburg felt good about their chances at reclaiming glory after their first game, but a big effort from young Leonie Fiebich was not enough against Karin Kuijt and Herner, which left with an 86-71 win and the sweep.  On Wednesday, Marburg was fighting to extend their series, but Keltern took the lead for good in the fourth quarter to win 66-59.
