clinching three gold and two silver
medals on the final day of the event
on Saturday.
Savita (50kg), Mandeep Sandhu
(52kg) and Sakshi (54kg) struck gold
for the country, while Soniya (48kg)
and Niharika Gonella (70kg) settled
for silver medals.
Soniya was the first to take the ring
for India, squaring off against
American Heaven Garcia. She went
down 1-2 to open the Indian
account with a silver medal.
Next in was Savita and she edged
past her Ukrainian rival Kateryna
Rohova 2-1 to clinch the first gold of
the day for India.
This was followed by Mandeep's 3-0
triumph over Ireland's Niamh Earley

for Russian Anastasiia Sigaeva and
lost 0-3 to settle for a silver medal.
