The second half saw Köping claw back into the game, closing the gap to within seven points before Husby pulled away again for a comfortable 18-point win.
Leading point getters for Köping were Leo Wilhelm with 15 points, Simon Klaasma 14, William Sundh 11, Abbas Ibrahim, 8, Ghaith Kayali 8 and Wictor Sundh 5.
