Dom seemed more defensive minded in the match against Malgren. On that first takedown defense, she got her hips back and squared up well. It looked like she cross faced across the forehead and top of the head. It looked like if she snaked her thumb down her inside hip she might have reached into Malgren's nose and convinced her to go a different direction. On that first throw she defended, it should have been 2 pts for Dom. In a later take down defense, Malgren got in deep and had a head outside shot. It was another opportunity to separate Malgren's head from her shoulders to get her hips back.
Have these two wrestled before? I'm wondering if Dom was consciously more defensive or if her setups were not working. She's been more committed and aggressive on shot attempts in the past. Malgren's pretty good though...
