Women’s Superfinal
In the Women’s Superfinal Classic faced SB-Pro. SB-Pro were the first to score after nine minutes, but Classic evened the score before the end of the first period. SB-Pro played rather defensively as they fore checked low. Despite their good defence, Classic put the ball in the net three times in the second period. At the start of the third period, Classic’s Alisa Pöllänen took her team already to a 5-1 lead. Elina Kujala from SB-Pro decreased the score to 5-2, but no more goals were seen in the match. This means that Classic won all their league matches, including the Superfinal and became Champions.
