Hockeyroos crack win

THE Hockeyroos claimed the first win of the Test Series against Spain with a 3-2 victory at Perth Hockey Stadium.

The first two encounters finished 1-1 but Australia edged Spain on Saturday, with Karri McMahon netting the winner from a penalty stroke on 36 minutes. Earlier, Australia took the lead twice, only for Spain to respond in an exciting second quarter where four goals were scored.

Jordyn Holzberger scored from a penalty corner from Madi Ratcliffe’s pass in the 17th minute before the visitors levelled through Lola Riera from a drag flick a minute later.

Jodie Kenny converted a 20th-minute penalty stroke but Spain equalised when Berta Bonastre scored from after Jocelyn Bartram couldn’t stop Georgina Oliva’s effort.

The two teams played again last night.
