GB WOMEN WIN AGAIN

Great Britain's women have decisively won the fourth match in their five match series against the USA in San Diego. After a goalless first half, Laura Unsworth opened the scoring for GB from a penalty corner, with a goal from Helen Richardson four minutes later giving the visitors a 2-0 lead. Kathleen Sharkey pulled one back for the Americans, but further GB goals from Becky Herbert, Hannah Macleod and Katie Long increased the lead to 5-1 before Caroline Nichols scored a goal for the USA in the closing minutes. Final score 5-2 to Great Britain.

GB play their final match in the series this afternoon (Sunday).
