Quarter-final exit: Pustertal and Neumarkt go on vacation

The exit of the Wolves is particularly bitter, as they started the season with ambitious goals and, as second in the Master Round, were considered the clear favorite in the duel with Cortina. They lost 2.000-1 in game three in front of almost 3 spectators at the Rienz Stadium.

It was Corey Pritz who gave the HCP hope for a turnaround. The defender from North America immediately equalized Cortina's lead in the middle period. Before the second break, Cicarello hit the mark again. In the final section, Brace, who was once again extremely strong, put the lid on it and sent Bruneck into the summer break with an empty net goal.

Ritten will face Cortina in the semi-finals

The HC Neumarkt players can also book their vacation. They bravely stood up to title favorite number one Ritten for the third game in a row, but ultimately lost 0-3. In front of 800 spectators, Simon Kostner, Sprukts and Traversa hit the mark once in each third and never really let the Wild Geese get into the game. In the end, Ritten goalie Killeen celebrated and remained clean for the fifth time this season.

The Rittner Buam will now face Pustertal winners Cortina in the semi-finals. Asiago, which knocked Feldkirch out of the competition with a 3-0 win, is still waiting for its opponent in the semi-finals.
