Puerto Rico – Norway: 13-39

Oustorp believes Norway delivered a weak 1st half against Puerto Rico, but that the team raised considerably after intermission.
– I think 2nd half was much better than the first. The good thing today is that we have not got any injuries, he sums up.
– It was otherwise great to see counterattack appreciated as it should, and it was nice to see Sulland play brilliant in the 2nd half where she scored seven goals in seven opportunities, he points out.

Did not using Spain
Norway got no other means of Spain Monday.
Russia won 28-26 over the Spaniards and thus wins the Norwegian girls most likely not the group.
Wins over Romania and Spain can at best send Norway on the top layer in D department, but it depends now of aid pledged and Russian points.
A pulje victory probably means Germany, which have been weak so far in the eighth-finals Monday.
