    FIH Hockey Pro League: The Indian women’s hockey team ended the Bhubaneswar leg of the Hockey Pro League 2023/24 with a 3-1 victory against the United States at Kalinga Hockey Stadium, here on Friday. Vandana Katariya (9’), Deepika (26’), and Salima Tete (56’) scored for India. Meanwhile, Sanne Caarls (42’) scored the only goal for the United States.

    India started the game with an opportunity to score through a penalty corner but Deepika’s dragflick sailed wide of the post. United States quickly answered back with a chance of their own as Elizabeth Yeager shot from a tight angle, however, India’s captain Savita diffused the situation with a save. Halfway through the first quarter, Sangita Kumari ventured down the right wing and attempted to find Sonika in the shooting circle but the ball bounced off United States’ goalkeeper Kealsie Robles and fell kindly to Vandana Katariya, who tapped the ball in goal to score the first goal of the game for India.

    United States started the second quarter on the front foot with Elizabeth Yeager swivelling on top of the shooting circle and attempting a reverse shot but it was straight into the side netting. Soon after, Salima Tete initiated a blazing run on the right wing but she couldn’t find Lalremsiami in the circle and the move fizzled out.
