Day 5 Women’s NHL Results

Auckland were looking to put the disappointment of missing out on the top 4 behind them when they met Capital in the first match of the next round. Auckland got on the scoreboard first when Tyler Lench jumped on a rebound off the Capital goalkeeper and then slotted the ball into the goal. The Auckland side then extended their lead just before the halftime break when Tayla White managed to score their second. The Ricoh Capital Women came storming back in the second half scoring their first through a high, fast paced drag flick into the net by Estelle Macadre and then their second through Anahira Hudson in the 44th minute when a drag from a penalty corner didn’t come out straight but Hudson’s sweep found the side of the goal to bring Capital level. Looking to be heading to a shootout, Auckland scored with 4 minutes to go when Liz Thompson jumped on the loose ball in front of the Capital goal to make the score 3-2 to Auckland.

Tori Robinson broke the game open in the 45thminute with a well-placed shot. Erin Goad then extended the Harbour lead with a great diving touch in. Northland got themselves on the score sheet in the final minute with a great penalty corner goal, unfortunately it was a little to late in the match as North Harbour would go on to take the win.
