This was an even fight, possibly even Rin’s fight, in the first, when both fighters were grappling and fighting on the ground. Rin had the advantage, as Tate was losing stamina a lot faster than Rin during all this. Then when Tate decided to keep the fight standing in the 2nd, she absolutely took over and started destroying RIn.
