Women's HIL: Bengal Tigers Clinch 1-0 Win Over Delhi SG Pipers
The beginning of the match was end-to-end with the Tigers making the first circle entry and Delhi SG Pipers responding through Deepika who posted up with the ball soon after and passed to Emma Puvrez in the circle but it was intercepted. Delhi SG Pipers went on to earn a couple of penalty corners with five minutes left in the first quarter but Deepika’s attempts on goal were saved by Grace O’Hanlon. The Tigers held on and earned a penalty corner of their own in the last minute of the quarter but failed to muster a shot on goal.
Delhi SG Pipers took the initiative in the second quarter, earning a penalty corner within minutes, but Stephanie De Groof’s shot was shut down by Grace O’Hanlon again. The Pipers’ onslaught continued in the minutes that followed but Grace and the Tigers’ defensive unit remained alert in goal to deny Deepika and Preeti Dubey’s shots.
