The last match of the year was played by PSV Women Friday night against bottom club PEC Zwolle. The game ended in a 6-0 victory for PSV Women.
On a roll before halftime
PSV Women got off to a flying start on their own field. In the 10th minute, captain Jeslynn Kuijpers scored the opening goal with a nice chip. A minute later it was Nadia Coolen who made it 2-0 after a quick break through the Eindhoven attacking guard. PSV kept up the pressure while PEC Zwolle could do nothing more than defend. The 3-0 came to the name of Kuijpers again, who got free in front of the goal and controlled the angle. Just before halftime the strong playing Lucie Akkerman scored the 4-0 when she headed in a corner.

Debut goalkeeper Tijm
Coach Vuckovic changed his first goalkeeper Angela Christ for Annerens Tijm, who could be important in the second half with saves. PSV scored two quick goals after halftime (49th and 51st minutes) through Sisca Folkertsma and again Kuijpers who scored her third goal of the evening. Despite the big advantage, PSV did not score more and the counter eventually remained at six goals for and zero against. The first half of the season ended convincingly with five unbeaten games in a row. PSV Women finished the first half of the season in fourth place and remain in the race for the playoffs.
