Hockeyroos cruise in to quarterfinals at 2022 Women’s FIH World Cup

Aleisha Power, Penny Squibb and Karri Somerville have helped Australia in to the quarterfinals, with Australia undefeated through the pool rounds.

Their opening game looked to be ending in a nil all draw, before two late goals in the final five minutes saw the Hockeyroos make a statement of intent.

In what was expected to be a close contest against Belgium, the strength of the Hockeyroos was on display, with back to back goals inside two minutes. A strong defensive gain by Somerville and Squibb held off Belgium to make it two in a row.

A goal from Squbb against South Africa, helped seal a 2-1 victory over South Africa and dominance of pool D.

The Hockeyroos have a week long break before lining up in the quarterfinals.
