Vorarlberger Brajkovic makes his victorious debut in the NCAA

Luca Brajkovic made his successful debut Tuesday (local time) for Davidson College in the United States (NCAA). Vorarlberger, 19, celebrated with the Wildcats a clear opening win in 83:63 against Cleveland State.

As expected, Brajkovic was part of the Wildcats starting lineup and also secured the first points of his team. Overall, the "rookie", as the new players in the college league called them, scored ten points, six rebounds, two badists and a block of success at 6:27 pm. 1h19 minutes before the end of the match after the fifth foul that ended prematurely for the 2.08 m forward.

"I can do it a lot better"

It was "very cool" to play in front of his own fans (2,663), summarized Brajkovic. "I can do a lot better," he badessed his own performance, but overall, he was not unhappy. The initial nervousness had quickly disappeared. "The basic problems that we will have to master" was Brajkovic's motto for Friday's game against Dartmouth in front of the crowd.

For Maximilian Schuecker, another "freshman" sat with the Montana Bobcats 71:10 against the state of Utah. The Vienna striker had to settle for three minutes of play for his first participation in the university championship.
