    Gaurikova and Zitnanska doubled the lead in third period and set the final result. Well deserved 4-0 win for the Slovaks who dominated till the opening face off.

    Best players:
    Diana Görögova (SVK)
    Hazel Taylor (GBR) (13:06:44)
     
    Game over.

    43:51
    Hand pass is whistled. Face off will take place inside neutral zone.
     
    43:04
    Culshaw and Towns almost put their side on board with two great shots on Zuziakova now. The substitute goalie makes decent saves for Slovakia.
     
    41:09
    2 on 1 rush from the Slovaks got interrupted with a great backchecking from Paintera on Klucikova.
     
    40:40
    The Slovaks rest their first line as well as Tomcikova. With some players sidelined with injuries, more bruises would be really bad news.

    3-0 Slovakia! Face off went right on tape of BARBORA GAURIKOVA on the other side and he managed to roofed it past Quigley for third unanswered goal. No assist.
     
    36:51
    The Brits got some time with ball lately. It doesn't look like they would be able to create some pressure in the zone though.
     
    34:36
    Pravlikova couldn't hold her feet on blue line before receiving a long pass. Offside.

    Icing from the Slovaks.

    Findova with another shot, Quigley with another save.
     
    30:27
    Zaborska makes sure Quigley is fully focused with an early slap shot from distance.
