The Neptunes, who won this C2 in 2021, however, were in the lead for a long time, leading 16-12 at half-time, notably thanks to a strong defense, but they collapsed in the second half against the rediscovered Norwegians. .

Outnumbered during almost the entire last two minutes of the match, which they had nevertheless started in front (27-26 in the 58th), a loss of ball followed by a long shot from the Norwegian Kristin Venn in the goal empty 30 seconds from the end of the match gave victory to Storhamar.

The Norwegians will face the Romanians from Gloria Bistrita on Sunday in the final of the European League.
