WOMEN'S LEAGUE

After a one-month break, two teams are still in the running for the final playoff spot of the 2017-18 season of the SWHL A: both the Neuchâtel Hockey Academy and SC Reinach still have the chance to qualify for the last remaining playoff spot.

{sitelinkxoff}Two losses this weekend led SC Reinach from a playoff team to an "on the bubble"-team: in the game against Neuchâtel last Saturday, Reinach could have eliminated all doubts, but Neuchâtel won with 4-2. The Hockey Academy then lost their game against SC Weinfelden on Sunday, but they are still only two points behind Reinach: Reinach did not manage to win their Sunday game against EV Bomo Thun.

Thus, the last games of the season will determine which team will make the playoffs. SC Reinach will face SC Weinfelden next week; Neuchâtel will try to beat HC Lugano.
