Can Jansen keep Matla off her fifth top scorer title?
This weekend - during the last round of the regular league - the battle for the top scorer title in the Tulp Hoofdklasse Women will be decided. Only Yibbi Jansen can keep Frédérique Matla from a new honorary title.
Thanks to a hat-trick against Huizen (10-1), Den Bosch striker Frédérique Matla goes into the final round of play with a slight lead. The goalgetter increased her goal total to 22, one more than SCHC's Yibbi Jansen, the only remaining competitor. Matla already captured the top scorer title four times in her career: in 2019-2020 (25 goals), 2020-2021 (24 goals), 2021-2022 (35) and 2023-2024 (27 goals).
Jansen contributed with two goals to SCHC's 0-6 win at Rotterdam last weekend. With that win, the team from Bilthoven set a new goal record in their premier league history. The counter stands at 78 goals after 21 games this season. The previous peak was 75 goals, achieved in both 2015-2016 and 2022-2023.
SCHC concludes the league on Saturday with a home game against HDM. Den Bosch will visit Tilburg.
