Women's HIL: Odisha Warriors Edge Past Soorma Hockey Club With Penalty Shootout Win
Odisha Warriors kept more possession as the game began but Soorma Hockey Club were solid in defence and made advances of their own into the opposition half. Both teams were slow and careful with the ball, meaning there was no significant goalscoring opportunity until Soorma’s Charlotte Stapenhorst earned a penalty corner with four minutes left in the quarter. However, Penny Squibb’s flick was kicked out by Jocelyn Bartram and the first quarter remained goalless.
The back-and-forth continued in the midfield as the second quarter began with neither team willing to give an inch. Halfway through the quarter Englebert stole the ball at the half line, bolted to the shooting circle, and earned a penalty corner but Soorma failed to create a shooting chance. The Warriors responded by earning their penalty corner soon after but Yibbi Jansen’s flick was deflected away by Soorma’s guardian in goal, Savita. And the first half came to an end without any goals.
