And even though it was only 1-1 on Sunday against Uhlenhorst Mülheim despite a corner goal from national striker Jett Fleschchutz in the last minute, it was clear the GTHGC women could aim for more than just relegation this season. Newcomers Trinchinetti and Agostina Alonso are good at building the game and, according to Katharina Frank, “they also make sure to let others carry themselves away. The quality of training and play with us is better than last season.” “
