St. Eustatius did not shy away from the offense of their opponents but instead countered with a strong defensive shield.  Consequently they were able to keep the scores very close.  However, as the game progressed fatigue showed its head but the ladies fought on.  The main scorers for the team were Hook and Rivers with five points each.

Both teams displayed a tremendous amount of respect for each other. Coach Legras and Captain Damaseau of St. Martin were succinct in stating the team played a solid game and the opposition produced a stellar performance. Coach Henriquez and Captain Lopes Robins were satisfied with their efforts and have seen the evolution of the team.  However the captain indicated due to fatigue the team fell out of system but it was a great learning experience.
