Indian Women Lose 1-3 Against Netherlands In FIH Pro League Hockey
Indian women's hockey team's penalty corner woes continued as it fell to its second consecutive defeat at the FIH Pro League, losing 1-3 to the Netherlands in Bhubaneswar on Sunday. Navneet Kaur was on the lone goal-scorer for India, who were guilty of squandering as many as six penalty corners. Yibbi Jansen (3rd, 34th minute) and Fay van der Elst (21st) etched their name on the scoresheet for the Netherlands. India had lost to China on Saturday. India's goalkeeper Savita Punia was called to action right from the get-go, saving successive shots at her goal. Soon after, the Netherlands were awarded a penalty corner and this season's leading goalscorer, Jansen, powered a shot down the middle of the goal to give the Netherlands an early lead.
