Women's HIL: SG Pipers Continue Winning Momentum With Narrow 1-0 Victory Over Soorma Hockey Club
The SG Pipers put in a composed and disciplined performance to edge past Soorma Hockey Club 1-0 in a tightly contested Women’s Hockey India League (HIL) encounter in Ranchi on Wednesday, with the Pipers' captain Navneet Kaur’s early strike proving decisive as the table-toppers registered their second consecutive victory.
The Pipers began on a disciplined note, moving the ball with pace and purpose, and their intent was rewarded early in the contest. Captain Navneet Kaur (4’) put her side ahead early with a moment of individual brilliance. Intercepting a pass in her own half, Navneet surged forward on a scintillating run, dribbled past two Soorma defenders near the circle, and calmly fired a well-placed shot to open the scoring.
