Den Bosch held their nerve to once again win the Dutch women’s championship ahead of SCHC, earning a spot in next year’s EHL FINAL8 into the bargain.
In front of a sold out home crowd, they made the dream start to the second leg with Rosa Fernig striking home from a penalty corner in the sixth minute.
SCHC fought back and made a series of great chances before Elzemiek Zandee finished off following a flurry of action in the Den Bosch circle.
That made it 1-1 in the game and 2-2 on aggregate before half-time and that is how it remained all the way to the final whistle, leading to a shoot-out.
There, Josine Koning kept out two SCHC efforts, allowing Charlotte Englebert to brilliantly volley home a rebound from her shoot-out and win the day and a 23rd national title.
