Anthony, a U.S. Olympic Trials runner-up, jumped all over three-time Junior World medalist Erin Golston in the opening stanza of the 48 kg/105.5 lbs. championship match. Courtesy of a pair of takedown-to-turn combinations, Anthony amassed a whopping 9-0 lead as time ticked down in the first period.
Then it was Golston's turn. As Anthony pressed for the technical fall, Golston pulled off a four-point toss on the edge of the mat to cut the lead to five points at the break.
"It was a hard-wrestled match. She four'd me, so it got me going. I got a little bit greedy on the points. I was up 9-0, and I was like, I see the edge, I want it, and to my back. That fired me up a lot just to finish the match, not stall out that last period," Anthony said.
