Was my friend wrong to defend himself after a female friend hit him?

My male friend was attacked by his female friend in high school over some rumours. She punched him in the neck, so he pushed her to the wall, she hit him again so he pushed her again, but harder and then she stopped because her arm was hurt.

I think she deserves it.
