The Black Sticks continued to win penalty corners, with five more in the remainder of the second quarter, but were unable to convert—including when Josie Hollamon made a goal line defensive save. Just before the halftime whistle, Sanne Caarls earned a penalty corner for USA, but the flick from Caroline Ramsey was saved by New Zealand’s goalkeeper.
New Zealand continued their onslaught of penalty corner chances with no success, faced with a stout USA defensive penalty corner unit with Kelsey Bing at the helm. In the final quarter, the Black Sticks saw an 11th and 12th chance thwarted.
