However, Hungary gradually asserted themselves and a 10-2 run in the third quarter saw them take the lead, 38-31.

In a fourth quarter where both teams struggled to put points on the board, Hungary managed to gradually increase their lead to as many as ten points and eased to victory.

Fanni Hutlassa and Dora Szondy both netted 16 points for Hungary.
