    Hockey Olympic Qualifiers: USA Inch Closer To Semis With 2-0 Win Over Italy

    By IANS News January 14, 2024 • 20:04 PM View: 394
    Marang Gomke Jaipal Singh Astro: A day after breaking Indian hearts with a 1-0 win against the hosts, the United States took a big step towards a semifinal berth from Pool B with a 2-0 victory over Italy in the FIH Hockey Olympic Qualifiers at the Marang Gomke Jaipal Singh Astro-Turf Hockey Stadium here on Sunday.

    The USA scored once in each half -- through Ashley Sessa in the 20th minute and a penalty corner conversion in the 48th minute by Ashley Hoffman as they got the better of the Italian for their second successive win in the four-team group.

    Sunday's win took USA to the top of the Pool with six points from two wins with New Zealand and hosts India yet to play their second match of the event. New Zealand, who defeated Italy 3-0 in their opening match on Saturday, are second with three points and can take the top spot in the standings if they beat India in the last match on Sunday.
