Goals: 0:1 Marian Zelger (42.14), 0:2 Flavio Faggioni (45.21),

HC Neumarkt achieved a hard-fought 2-0 victory in the neighborhood duel with SV Kaltern. Thomas Waldthaler and Daniel Spinell were again missing from the pike team, but Markus Kofler came back into action. The guests, on the other hand, had to make do without Alexander Sullmann (flu), Matteo Peiti and Paolo Bustreo. Martino Valle Da Rin guarded the Kaltern goal, Martin Rizzi that of the Unterlandler team. The first third passed without any real highlights. Even a double power play by Neumarkt lasting 1.08:42.14 minutes did not result in a goal. In the second third the game noticeably picked up pace and both teams had several chances to score, but the goalkeepers always knew how to prove themselves. It was only in the final section that the spectators were treated to the first goal: Marian Zelger put the HCN in the lead after 2 minutes. Just three minutes later, Flavio Faggioni made it 0-XNUMX and secured the preliminary decision. As a result, Kaltern threw everything forward again, but Rizzi remained insurmountable that evening.

HC Meran Pircher – HC Eppan Sarah 2:1 (0:1, 2:0, 0:0)

HC Meran Pircher: Vincenzo Marozzi (Samuel Quaglio); Jan Mair, Daniel Valgoi, Viktor Wallin, Philipp Beber, Danny Elliscasis; Max Ansoldi, Julian Schwienbacher. Michele Ciresa, Taggart Desmet, Thomas Mitterer, Stefan Palla, Stefan Kobler, Daniel Rizzi, Patrick Cainelli, Michael Stocker, Michael Guarise, Daniel Frank Coach: Doug McKay

Goals: 0:1 Fabian Ebner (13.33), 1:1 Stefan Palla (20.43), 2:1 Taggart Desmet (24.47)

There was nothing to gain for HC Eppan in the difficult away game against the Adler from Meran, who won the duel 2-1. The Passerstädter team had to make do without Davide Turrin, while Eppan's long-term injured Alex Rottensteiner, Patrick Wallenberg and Luca Sartore were again absent from the squad. The initial phase was all about HC Eppan, who initially missed a power play only to take the lead a little later through Fabian Ebner. After the break, Meran came back onto the ice as if transformed and turned the game around within five minutes: After 20.43:1 minutes, Stefan Palla scored the 1-XNUMX in the power play, and a short time later Taggart Demset shot the home team into the lead for the first time. The final third was extremely even, with Meran adept at narrowing the spaces and keeping the danger away from their own goal. Ultimately, McKay achieved its third win in a row over time.

EV Bozen 84 Groupon – HC Gherdeina 1:5 (0:2, 1:2, 0:1)

EV Bozen Groupon: Thomas Commisso (Federico Tesini); Stanislav Jasecko, Luca Franza, Gabriel Nibale, Simon Obexer; Oliver Schenk, Dylan Stanley, Thomas Unterfrauner, Philipp Grandi, Daniele Da Ponte, Hannes Hölzl, Franz Josef Plankl, Alexander Pancheri, Matteo Lotti, Lorenzo Piccinelli, Paolo Widmann, Christian Timpone Coach: Fred Carroll

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

Goals: 0:1 Ryan Gaucher (8.51), 0:2 Benjamin Kostner (17.58), 0:3 Aaron Pitschieler (23.06), 0:4 Oliver Schenk (27.19), 1:4 Dylan Stanley (31.29), 1:5 Ivan Demetz (54.46)

With a safe victory in the ice wave, HC Gherdeina took another step towards the playoffs. EV Bozen had to give up Manuel Accarino, Oliver Schenk, Michele Volcan and captain Roland Battisti (groin problems) due to injuries. Fabio Kostner and Fabian Kosta were again missing from Val Gardena. The Ladins started the game extremely aggressively and were already 2-0 up at the first break. First, Ryan Gaucher gave EVB goalie Commisso the advantage from close range, then an own goal made it 2-0. The goal was credited to Benjamin Kostner. In between, Dylan Stanley and Christian Timpone missed the best chances to equalize. Aaron Pitschieler made it 3-0 with a goal after a Vinatzer shot. Only a few minutes passed again before Commisso had to get the puck out of the goal for the fourth time when Oliver Schenk, being outnumbered, took advantage of the Bolzano team's inattention. After 31.29 minutes EV Bozen scored their first goal through their top scorer Dylan Stanley. However, this was only a brief flicker as the Blue-Whites' spark of hope was dashed by Ivan Demetz's goal at the start of the final period. Before that, Commisso had saved a penalty from Benjamin Kostner. The 5:1 by Demetz was also the end of this one-sided game.

Hockey Pergine Sapiens – Vipiteno Weihenstephan 3:4 (0:2, 1:1, 2:1)

Pergine Sapiens: Daniele Facchinetti (Marcello Platè); Troy Barnes, Fabio Rigoni, Andrea Strazzabosco, Alessandro De Polo; Pontus Moren, Devid Piffer, Alberto Virzi, Riccardo Tombolato, Davide Mantovani, Lino De Toni, Marco Demattio, Denny Deanesi, Luca Mattivi, Andrea Meneghini, Stefano Piva Coach: Marco Liberatore

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

The Broncos maintained their lead with a must-win win in Pergine. The Wipptal team had to select four players: Samuel Rainer, Stefan Ramoser, Luca Scardoni and Samuel. Nevertheless, Daniele Facchinetti was under constant fire in the home team's goal in the first half of the game. This paid off after just 4.41:2 minutes when Hannes Stofner scored the first goal. Six minutes later, TJ Caig increased the score to 0-29.26 in favor of the guests from South Tyrol. Vipiteno now had the game firmly in hand. At the beginning of the middle period, the active Caig used a power play to score the third goal. The wild horses then let the reins slip a bit and were promptly punished by the Trentino team's first goal. Stefano Piva lost out to Charles Corsi after XNUMX minutes. Vipiteno now made life difficult for itself and even allowed Pergine to score through Davide Mantovani. Now suddenly there was real tension in the game again. Although Gunnar Brait restored the old two-goal lead in the majority, Pergine shortened the gap again through Fabio Rigoni. In the intense final minutes, the hosts were unable to score another goal and so it remained a narrow victory for Vipiteno.
