But little did the fans, who cheered the ball-handling and uncanny accuracy of the goal attack, know that 17-year-old Holder was devastated to the point of tears minutes before taking to the court.
That was when she was informed by anti-doping officers that both she and vice-captain Damisha Croney would be subjected to a drug test after the match. (KB)
