As we speak, the 2 Crew USA roster gamers competed with the Shrachi Rahr Bengal Tigers of the Girls’s Hockey India League of their opening fixture towards Soorma Hockey Membership.
Rizzo was the beginning goalie for the Bengals, and saved Soorma off the board within the first half. However when she was pulled for Eire worldwide Grace O’Hanlon within the second half, the fortunes of the groups modified fully.
Soorma solved the Shrachi Rahr protection with regularity, scoring 4 targets in 9 minutes in a 4-1 win. New Zealand’s Olivia Shannon opened the Blues’ account with a well-finished break, adopted by the eventual game-winner off the in-form Charlotte Englebert from Belgium.
