Last Thursday, over 400 JKU students thunderously cheered our JKU Astros ladies on to their first victory over the Med Uni Serpents (60 - 46). Despite a close loss in Vienna against the TU Robots (by 1 point), the strongest team in the league, the JKU Astros, are now an insider's tip in the fight for a spot in the Final 4. Lisa Ganhör, well underway to becoming MVP (most valuable player) is showing first-hand just how well the JKU women's team is positioned in the ACSL.

It was a close game! The JKU Astros men's team is getting better and better and compared to the test game in October, the team is becoming more fluid! They even led by 6 points during the 3rd quarter. However, the Med Uni Serpents demonstrated their years of team experienceduring the last quarter and turned the game around with a score of 52 - 42.
Despite the defeat, the JKU Astro fans celebrated their team as winners, proving the JKU's unique university spirit. Nina, a student at the JKU, remarked: "I was at a basketball game today for the first time in my life and overwhelmed by the amazing atmosphere! I am a new fan here at the JKU!"  Nina added that she is greatly looking forward to the next game on December 15 against the BOKU Beez.

Expect thrilling university rivalries, an unparalleled atmosphere, the JKU cheer dance team, DJs and, of course, exciting games.
