WSV forgot how to play defense against an Ahlen team that has taken 10 pts in their last 4 games. Meanwhile, WSV has managed only 1 measly point over the same period! Siegen's clear win strengthens their hold on 2nd, while Trier is stopped from advancing at Essen, who desperately needed a win. Nevertheless, the battle for the playoff win remains tight, as Homburg and Saarbruecken chalked up a "W". Erkenschwick got some breathing room with a shock win over yoyo Kaiserslautern.
