Braxgata’s Louise Versavel says there it more to come from her side as they look forward to the second half of the Belgian league and their upcoming EHL debut at Easter.

Brax qualified for EHL Women by virtue of their runners-up spot in last year’s national championship and are in decent contention for the playoffs again this season.

They are in third spot in the Carlsberg 0.0 league with 21 points out of 36 with Gantoise and Dragons up ahead of them.

“It’s true that we’re not where we want to be yet,” Versavel to the league’s official website.

“With the team we have, more is possible. However, we’re not playing badly, we had most of the matches under control but we’re not yet succeeding in creating enough big chances.”

As such, Versavel hopes that everything will fall into place quickly towards the second part of the competition. “That is perfectly possible. Despite the fact that many teams are doing well, we certainly want to secure our play-off place as soon as possible. Our focus? If the opponent plays defensively, we have to succeed in creating more in the small space.”

Looking to the EHL, she adds: “It is an honour to compete with the best twelve teams in Europe. We are really looking forward to it. We will meet Club de Campo in the round of 16. That is not the easiest draw, but on the other hand we did avoid an absolute top team like SCHC!”

They restart their season after the winter break on Sunday when they come up against Leuven.
