Great Britain’s women’s hockey team again came from behind to beat the USA 4-1 on Thursday and secure a third consecutive victory to clinch the best of five series in San Diego with two games remaining.
As on Wednesday, Great Britain fell behind to an early deflection but a freak goal from Reading’s Alex Danson levelled things before the break, albeit somewhat fortunately.
In the second half Great Britain found another gear and Leicester’s Katie Long scored her first goal for Great Britain to make it 2-1 just over five minutes into the second half. Danson bagged a second shortly after, Great Britain’s third, and Chloe Rogers (below) rounded off the scoring with 15 minutes remaining.
Head Coach Danny Kerry said, “The USA came at us out of the blocks fast and we were too slow and complacent. We were luck y to score how we did to keep it tight at half time but in the second half we played well to instruction and created good opportunities. With the opportunities we created we could have scored more.”
The victory means Great Britain lead the series 3-0 with two games remaining. Those games take place on Saturday and Sunday.
