Despite a 3-2 loss in the Sunday rematch, Astemo’s playoff fate was sealed. They now face top-seeded Osaka Marvelous—who clinched first place after back-to-back wins over Saitama—in a challenging quarterfinal matchup.

Astemo’s head coach Hirohiro Nakatami remains focused: “We’ll fight to win our last two regular season games and go strong into the playoffs.”

Next weekend’s action includes seven doubleheaders as the regular season nears its close.
