Historic gold in her last match as Thorengruppen captain Emelie Wibron scores hat-trick and wins tenth Swedish Championship gold

In her last match with the team, Thorengruppen captain Emelie Wibron scored a hat-trick and made history with her tenth Swedish Championship gold. "This was my last match and to finish like this feels absolutely fantastic," the 34-year-old said in a Viaplay broadcast.

Thorengruppen took their sixth consecutive Swedish Championship gold after a 4–2 victory against Kalmarsund, who were making their first appearance in a final, in the Avicii Arena (Globen) in Stockholm.

Wibron's tenth gold medal moves her past the legendary Hermine Dahlerus, who won nine Swedish Championship gold medals with Högdalen, Balrog and Djurgården between 1997 and 2009.

About her hat trick, Wibron said:

Incredibly nice. I was only focused on defense before the match, so I didn't think about going in and scoring three goals.

Thorengruppen's goalkeeper Lovisa Hedin was another of the heroes when she saved 27 shots against a Kalmarsund team that pressed Thorengruppen hard.
