Vardar’s women’s handball team was able to beat Buducnost in the regional VRHL league, even though they had to play without four players from their starting line-up. Andrea Penezic scored the winning goal in the last seconds of the match, for a 28:27 win.
Vardar was far more confident in the first half, which it won with 15 goals to 11, mostly owing to solid defending. In the second half, it was touch and go, and the host team was able to even out the game. But, Penezic was in top form, scoring a total of 11 goals throughout the game.
“It was clear that we are undermanned and down to 7-8 players. But we will make up for it in the coming games”, said coach Aco Stankovski.
Vardar’s next VRHL games are in Ljubljana on April 1st and 2nd, against Krim and Podravka.
