Gotta disagree with the judges on this one. Calderwood did a little more damage, and definitely had more health and stamina by the end of the fight. She just looked a bit better, consistently. But also, both fighters fought like they were much more developed than they are. Impressive stuff, really, even if the fight was only okay.
