Ahoy Arena
.
The gold remains in Russia! They were the best on The Old Continent in 2013 and they still are after the 2015 tournament! Russian girls played perhaps the best game at the tournament, especially in defense where they showed some incredible team play. Meanwhile, Tatiana Kosheleva and Nataliya Obmochaeva were almost unstoppable in attack. To put it this way – Russia was simply unbeatable in this game.
The Netherlands failed to win the gold in front of home crowd, but they deserved big applause at the end. And they got even more than that. More than 10.000 fans in Ahoy Arena rewarded Dutch girls with standing ovations and reminded them that the silver medal is also a huge success.
Top scoreres: Obmochaeva 20, Kosheleva 19 – Sloetjes 11, Plak 10
