The 23-year old top seed, who earlier in the year won the Swedish Open, Swiss Open and the Hemubo Trophy in Almere, took a 2/0 lead against her regular training partner before Noom hit back to level the match.
The fifth and final game saw Huisman open up a quick 5-0 lead, which proved a big enough cushion for the world number 39. After 79 minutes of high quality squash, Huisman beat her 21-year-old opponent, the No2 seed, 9-5, 9-5, 7-9, 4-9, 9-4 to take the glory and the ranking points which will see her continue her rise on the world rankings.
