The Black Sticks Women have lost their third game in the Samsung Champions Trophy, going down 4-0 to Argentina.
A nil all draw at half time looked hopeful for the Black Sticks Women against the world’s number two team, with both teams playing open attacking hockey in the first half.
The Black Sticks Women fought off three penalty corners in the first half, and goalkeeper Bianca Russell’s defensive saves ensured Argentina did not score.
However, the second half saw Argentina break through and score three field goals and one more off a penalty corner.
The Black Sticks Women’s next game is against Germany, live on SKY Sport 1, Thursday July 15 at 10.05pm.
