Diane Hunter seemed to expect the attack and quickly maneuvered away, corkscrewing her upper body until her head slipped out of Dixxon's grasp. When Donna lost her balance, Hunter wasted no time in countering, reaching out with her legs and a leg-scissors hold to Donna's neck.

As Dixxon struggled to push her opponent off, Hunter pulled on the side of the bed to gain better leverage and counter-twisted, forcing Donna's head to sink further into the bed. Dixxon made the mistake of trying to turn her head in an attempt to escape and ended up with her face pressed directly into the mattress.
