Hockey team suffers two more defeats
— Team ends IPAC campaign in cellar position after losing to Canada and Uruguay yesterday
Guyana’s national women’s hockey team ended their Indoor Pan Am Cup (IPAC) campaign winless yesterday in Pennsylvania, USA suffering two more lopsided defeats to Canada and Uruguay.
It was the fourth consecutive loss for the Guyanese, following earlier defeats to defending champions USA [20-2] and Argentina [14-0] Friday. In their first match, yesterday, Canada brushed aside
Guyana 13-0.
Kathleen Leahy fashioned a helmettrick in the 21st, 27th, 30th and 40th minute to lead the rout. Alison Lee was the next best scorer with a hat-trick in the 14th, 19th and 20th minute whilst Rebecca Carvalho bagged a brace in the 10th and 31st minute and Madison Thompson tallied a double in the 15th and 37th minute.
Nicole Poulakis and Angela Lancaster scored the remaining two goals in the 22nd and 40th minute respectively. In their final group match, Uruguay dismantled Guyana 7-1. Constanza Barrandeguy amassed a three goal haul with conversions in the third, 29th and 36th minute.
Camila Piazza almost made her presence felt as she etched her name on the scorer’s sheet in the sixth and 40th minute. Adding goals in the 27th and 38th minute apiece were Camila de Maria and Maria Correa. For Guyana, Marzana Fiedtkou netted in the 24th minute.
Guyana ended the campaign in the cellar position without a point. They also conceded 54 goals and scored only three times. The winner of this year’s IPAC will represent the Americas in the next Indoor World Cup scheduled for Belgium in 2022.
