She met Yoshiko Inoue of Japan in the second round of the tournament, becoming the first one to score on Adeline. Inoue scored first in the first period, but Adeline came back and scored on a push out to win the first period. Adeline looked in control under hooks, scoring a throw-by and loosing her leg lace for a 3–0 victory.
