Neumarkt celebrates its first victory, Sterzing its second

Semi-final, 3rd game

WSV Vipiteno Weihenstephan - HC Gherdeina 4:2 (0:2, 1:0, 3:0)

WSV Vipiteno Weihenstephan: Charles Corsi (Dominik Steinmann), Simon Baur, Derek Eastman, Luca Scardoni, Daniel Maffia, Philipp Pircher, Michael Messner; Tobias Fink, Gunnar Braito, Patrick Mair, Tobias Kofler, Hannes Stofner, Alex Lanz, Florian Wieser, Felix Oberrauch, Christian Sottsas Coach: Oly Hicks

HC Gherdeina: Florian Grossgasteiger (Giancarlo Kostner), Ryan Gaucher, Fabrizio Senoner, Benjamin Bregenzer, Gabriel Lang, Fabian Costa, Marco Senoner, Joel Brugnoli, Mitch Stephens, Gabriel Vinatzer, Benjamin Kostner, Fabio Kostner, Oliver Schenk, Kevin Senoner, Gabriel Senoner, Ivan Demetz, Rupert Stampfer, Davide Holzknecht, Aaron Pitschieler, Coach: Gary Prior

Goals: 0:1 Rupert Stampfer (3.02), 0:2 Ryan Gaucher (8.41), 1:2 Florian Wieser (34.46), 2:2 Tobias Kofler (45.55), 3:2 Derek Eastman (46.16), 4:2 Derek Eastman (59.42)

The first home win in the third meeting means that Vipiteno takes the lead for the first time in the series against Val Gardena. The Ladins traveled to Wipptal without Simon Vinatzer, while the home team had to call on TJ Caig, Stephan Ramoser and Daniel Erlacher. Vipiteno was far too undisciplined, especially in the early stages, and promptly conceded the first goal. As Alex Lanz and Christian Sottsas languished in the penalty box, Rupert Stampfer scored to make it 1-0. After 7.50:34.46, tempers became even more heated when Simon Baur and Kevin Senoner got into a fight, and the Sterzinger had to leave the ice with a game misconduct penalty. Val Gardena took advantage of this and scored their second goal of the evening through Ryan Gaucher. The game continued rough, but no more goals were scored until the first break. It was only after the break that the guests came under increasing pressure. After 2 minutes, Großgasteiger and Co. finally had to surrender to Florian Wieser, who secured the Vipiteno connection. His goal also came in the power play. The Broncos continued their comeback at the start of the final period. Tobias Kofler pushed the puck over the line to make it 2-21 before former Val Gardena player Derek Eastman took the lead for the first time just 4 seconds later. Around ten minutes before the end, Val Gardena had the chance to reshuffle the cards in the power play. However, this remained unused and so it was the Vipiteno players who secured the final point with a score of 2:59.42. Eastman scored after XNUMX minutes in the now deserted Ladin goal.

HC Neumarkt Riwega - HC Eppan Sarah 5:1 (4:0, 1:1, 0:0)

HC Neumarkt Riwega: Alex Caffi (Martin Rizzi); Manuel Bertignoll, Christian Rainer, Piero Simoni, Alexander Sullmann, Daniele Delladio, Kevin Zucal; Michael Sullmann, Paolo Bustreo, Matteo Peiti, Markus Simonazzi, Rudi Locatin, Davide Stricker, Flavio Faggioni, Marian Zelger, Patrick Zambaldi, Hannes Walter, Mike Craig, Dylan Stanley Coach: Teppo Kivelä

HC Eppan Sarah: Mark Demetz (from 20.00 p.m. Alex Tomasi), David Ceresa, Jake Newton, Lukas Martini, Peter Stimpfl, Jonannes Weger, Tobias Ebner; Patrick Wallenberg, Alex Rottensteiner, Jan Waldner, Stefan Unterkofler, Philipp Jaitner, Daniel Peruzzo, Philipp Platter, Alex Jaitner, Tobias Spitaler, Robert Raffeiner, Fabian Ebner, Mathias Eisenstecken Coach: Jarno Mensonen

Goals: 1:0 Alexander Sullmann (9.45), 2:0 Markus Simonazzi (14.13), 3:0 Michael Sullmann (16.55), 4:0 Paolo Bustreo (19.58), 5:0 Flavio Faggioni (31.44), 5:1 Jake Newton (33.52)

With a confident home win, Neumarkt makes the semi-final series against Eppan exciting again. The Wild Geese played in front of their own supporters without Giulio Bosetti, while the Pirates even had the luxury of sending a surplus transfer card player, Tuomo Harjula, into the stands. Patrick Wallenberg was given preference this time. The Mensonen team initially seemed to find their way into the game better, but when they were allowed to play on the power play for the second time towards the middle of the first third, Neumarkt struck ice cold: defender Alexander Sullmann scored to make it 1-0. Suddenly the tide turned and Neumarkt began to take over the game. The aggressive forechecking was converted into the second goal by Markus Simonazzi after 14.13:5 minutes. Once again, just a few minutes passed and the Eppan team's bell rang again. This time a 4-on-4 situation led to Michael Sullmann's goal. But that wasn't enough, because two seconds before the break Paolo Bustreo even increased the score to 0-5 with another power play goal. After the restart, Alex Tomasi took the place between the posts for the Überetscher team. However, he was only able to keep his goal clean for twelve minutes before Flavio Faggioni scored to make it 0-XNUMX for the hosts. Only with this reassuring lead did Neumarkt shift down a gear, allowing Eppan's first goal from Jake Newton. However, the game was decided long ago. In the final phase, both teams kept the tempo high, but no more goals were scored.
