From 6-6 Orange took careful distance from the tough, but also static opponent. Especially Polman was at that stage in good form.

Due rake two penalty throws Polman Orange ran for a rest to a lead of 17-10. There was at that time little to barter. The last hit, Ailly Luciano, was particularly beautiful. She plucked the ball after a good pass from Polman suddenly from the sky and shot hit with a fine curve.
