PREVIEW: Women’s Basketball Showdown Set for Norrkoping on Monday

NORRKOPING, Sweden (Interstat) — A quick rematch with playoff implications is set for Monday when the Uppsala women’s professional basketball team visits Norrkoping in a Swedish league contest.

The matchup comes just two days after Norrkoping (14-11) edged Uppsala (19-6) 85-81 on the road this past Saturday, March 28. That result snapped a two-game head-to-head winning streak for Uppsala in the season series.

Uppsala, boasting the superior record, will seek immediate revenge and aims to solidify its standing near the top of the table. Norrkoping looks to build momentum from its recent road victory and sweep the home-and-home set.

A key battle will be in the frontcourt between two dominant power forwards. Uppsala’s Laina Snyder is coming off a stellar 29-point, 6-rebound performance in the loss to Norrkoping. Over her last four games, she is averaging 21 points and 8.3 rebounds.

She will be matched against Norrkoping’s Merit Brennecke, who recorded a double-double of 16 points and 11 rebounds in Saturday’s win. Brennecke has posted a double-double in three of her last four outings.

Supporting casts will be critical. For Uppsala, Stephanie Visscher (15 points, 8 rebounds) and Johanna Prytz (21 points) provided strong support in the last meeting. Norrkoping counters with a backcourt that shined Saturday, as Laura Stockton dished 8 assists to go with 18 points and Zipporah Broughton added 19 points.

The game tips off Monday, March 30, 2026, at Norrkoping’s home venue in Norrkoping, Sweden.
