The women’s national team were unable to tie up the Chile series after battling through 70 minutes of hockey and giving up two late goals in the second half to concede a 2-0 loss. The first half saw some good possession throughout the back four and midfield line though difficulties lied in generating attacking chances going forward.
Head coach Louis Mendonca commented that "again we made two crucial errors in our defending third of the field and we had opportunities and were unable to finish."
Though the team goes down 2-0 in the series, the team regroups tomorrow for a dual training day and is back at the pitch for two more games on Thursday and Friday.
