TuSEM Essen is coming closer to the safety zone which would let them stay in the Bundesliga next season. The 14th or 15th place are a realistic possibility now, as with today’s 30:28 win over HBW Balingen, Essen is now only 3 points off those place. Until the end there are enough rounds to win one of those place, should they continue winning.
Ole Rahmel scored 7 goals for the hosts, while leading scorers for the visitors were Kai Haefner and Roland Schlinger.
