GB WOMEN WIN SECOND OF SERIES

Great Britain's women won the second of their five match series against the USA in San Diego yesterday, despite a late rally by the home side. Katie Reinprecht gave the USA a first half lead which was cancelled out by two goals in less than a minute from Scotland's Laura Bartlett. Kate Walsh's second half penalty corner strike increased the lead to 3-1, and although Reinprecht scored her second in the dying minutes of the game, Great Britain emerged as the 3-2 victors.

On Sunday an Alex Danson hat-trick had given GB a 3-0 win in the first of the series. The second match was due to be played on Tuesday but was postponed until Saturday due to heavy rain. Other matches will be played today (Thursday) and Sunday.
