Angela watched carefully and sensing that Cartier was becoming careless, took advantage. Grabbing Daniella's arm, she pulled the off-balance champion forward and spinning behind her mounted Cartier.

The mood and expression of the two women were stark contrasts to what each imagined before the match. The supremely confident Cartier was now confused and off-balance. The underdog Foster was poised and feeling competitively sure of herself. Victory seemed not only possible but, to Foster, increasingly probable.

Cartier was not about to give up her title after her ninth month quest to gain it. Like a captive snake, she squirmed and bucked until she forced Angela off of her.
