The Daniella Cartier era got underway with a match against newcomer Angela Foster. Foster, a ta'i chi instructor, entered the world of competitive fighting in 1999 in exhibition martial arts matches throughout the midwest. Although an impressive performer, she had yet to face the top competition in ACW. Daniella Cartier sought to convince her that she wasn't just in the big leagues, but facing the best of the best.

Cartier attacked immediately and the two rolled around on the bed, fighting for the leverage of control. Surprisingly, the smaller, quicker Foster squirmed away several times. Daniella grew frustrated, hoping to make quick work of her opponent. She continued to lunge at Foster and with each attempt risked making herself vulnerable.
