Eriksson: "It was a few seconds of panic"

Martina Thörn got two shots in the head in the group game against Puerto Rico.

Two slaps that forced her to leave the World Cup squad.

In came Evelina Eriksson.

And the 25-year-old, everyday in Norwegian Vipers, gained confidence directly in the important match against Norway.

That (message) came like a bang.

But incredibly fun and their motivation was that I have met many in the club team.

I'm very happy about that, she says.

It went well, too.

Eriksson really impressed in the beginning when Sweden kept up with Norway.

- This is the start you want.

You want to be hit a few times and feel a little on the ball.

I succeeded and it was very fun, she says.

Eriksson played the entire first half and came into the second half for a penalty.

She, just like the rest of the team, was in a good mood to say the least after 30-30, where the equalizer came with five seconds left.

- It felt a bit like a win when we were down by two goals.

It was a feeling of relief when the lobby landed in the goal, she says.
