Kakamigahara (Japan), Oct 28: Indian Women’s Hockey Team got off to a roaring start on Saturday at the Women’s Asia Cup 2017 here.
The team led by Rani dominated against Singapore with a comfortable 10-0 win.
It was goals by Navneet Kaur (3’ and 41’), Rani (15’ and 18’), Lalremsiami (18’), Deep Grace Ekka (25’), Navjot Kaur (30’ and 50’), Gurjit Kaur (41’) and Sonika (45’) that ensured India notched up the winning points in their opening match in Pool A.
India began with positive intent, attacking Singapore’s circle constantly finding an opportunity to score.
The effort worked as the team won back-to-back PCs in the first quarter.
Though the first PC was saved by Singapore goalkeeper Felissa Lai, it hardly dented India’s spirit as they were precise in their counter.
It was Navneet and Rani’s goals in the 3rd and 15th minute that gave India a 2-0 lead in the first quarter. UNI
