 "FIH Pro League: Indian women's hockey team beat United States 2-1 via shootout")
A day after upsetting world No. 3 Australia, India women once again played an entertaining and fast-paced brand of hockey to defeat the United States 2-1 via shootout in an FIH Pro League match on Sunday. The regulation period ended in a 1-1 stalemate with India scoring in the 19th minute through young drag-flicker Deepika Kumari and the US equalising through Ashley Seesa in the 45th minute.
Mumtaz Khan and Sonika were on target in the shootout, while Leah Crouse scored for the losing team. Despite the win, the Indian chief coach, Janneke Schopman, would be unhappy with the way the Savita Punia-led side dominated for most part and still could not win the contest in regulation time despite earning several penalty corners.
