One of the most important milestones of Sopron1s women’s basketball. There were Sopron supporters sitting on top of the baskets on the side, as well as on the radiators, to cheer their favorite club on for their first ever championship title. The historic success came in an unforgettable game, and the fiesta went on until dawn by the Fire Tower.
Game 3 of the championship finals began in our favor on March 27th in 1993, because after three seconds SVSE were in a 3-0 advantage thanks to a three-point play by Bubu Balogh. MTK, however, have found their rhythm afterward, and took over the lead four minutes into the game (4th minute 10-12). We kept up with the opponents led by Bubu, the teams were neck and neck almost all the way through the half (34-35), but in the half-time break the scoreboard showed a five-point away lead (20th minute 47-52).
MTK kept increasing their lead further at the beginning of the second half, but then Andrea Csávás started scoring besides Judit Balogh, and so our team took over control again, and caught up with their rivals (23rd minute 56-56). There were five minutes left in the game when we were ahead by a double-digit margin (88-75). After that MTK started their last comeback effort and came dangerously close to us, but thanks to great tactics and long offensive possessions SVSE-GySEV had managed to win the game, and with that, their first Hungarian league championship title (40th minute 91-87)!

The board of our club has great experience in managing difficulties, but we are facing an especially huge challenge in terms of functioning due to the energy crisis, as well as on a professional level, since Courtney Vandersloot is for now unable to join our team due to personal reasons
Klubunk vezetésének nagy tapasztalata van már a nehézségek menedzselése terén, de most különösen nagy kihívások elé nézünk a működés tekintetében az energia-válság miatt, illetve szakmai vonalon is, miután személyes okok miatt Vandersloot Courtney egyelőre nem tud csatlakozni a keretünkhöz
