Jadran Herceg Novi is a step closer to a new title of the Montenegrin Championships. The reigning champion defeated Primorac convincingly (9:4) in the first match of the playoffs final.

The quarterfinal phase has been finished in Croatia. There were no surprises. Jadran Split, Mladost and Solaris advanced to the semifinals and joined Jug Dubrovnik, which secured its spot among the last four earlier.

Primorac earned a 1:0 lead in the 2nd minute of the game, but Jadran responded with three and went to 3:1 (9th minute). Shortly after Vujošević made it 2:3. However, Jadran kept Primorac scoreless between the 11th and the 31st minute to secure a convincing win. The hosts dominated, they produced a 5:0 series. Early in the fourth quarter, Ceraj scored an action goal and streched the margin to six (8:2). Macic broke Primorac’s silence for 3:8 in the 31st minute, but it was too late. Jadran’s good defense and Primorac’s bad percentage of extra player shots (2/11) were crucial for the outcome. But, Jadran also had a poor percentage of power-play shots (1/6).
