The final period was a goal fest with Hungary finishing 20-6 ahead, meaning Brazil came back into the game with four goals. Barbara
Bujka and Kata Menczinger netted twice in the period as did Marina
Zablith — breaking the Brazilian drought of nearly 24 minutes — and
teammate Izabella Chiappini. However, it was Hungary’s day and great experience for the young Brazilians.
