Girls’ national team progressing: “Players proved they are on the right path”
The girls progressed with each game. Initially, they had to acknowledge the superiority of the Ukrainian team, who defeated them 3:1. Slovenians managed to equalize to 1:1 in the first half, thanks to a goal by Lana Lesjak, but it wasn’t enough by the end of the match. In the second game against Bosnia and Herzegovina, our girls even took the lead after a goal by Ula Osolnik, but eventually, they fell back and lost again with a score of 3:1. Coach Anja Milenkovič emphasized throughout that the team is growing. This was evident in the last match against North Macedonia, where they won after a comeback with a score of 2:1. Katinka Skaza Pevnik and Lana Šernek scored in the first half for the turnaround.
“Congratulations to the players for the victory and very good game. In this match, the players improved their individual performances, and consequently, we functioned better as a team throughout the entire game. It is very encouraging that we created numerous scoring opportunities with the style of play we aim to develop. This tournament provided valuable insight into the team’s condition. Above all, it is important that the players have shown they are on the right path. As we approach the end of the championships in our leagues, we hope they continue to demonstrate what they show in international matches,” said coach Anja Milenković after the match against North Macedonia.
