The Tribune: After successive wins, hockey girls go down to South Korea

The Indian women’s hockey team suffered its first defeat on their tour of South Korea after it lost 1-2 against the hosts in a hard-fought third game of the five-match series.

Two goals in the first quarter from South Korea’s Seul Ki Cheon (12th min) and Yurim Lee (14th min) sealed the win for the hosts at the Jinchun National Athletic Centre. India, however, did not give up without a fight and pulled one back through Lalremsiami in the 16th minute.

Despite the loss, India continue to lead the series 2-1 following victories in the first two games. The two teams would play the fourth match of the series tomorrow.
