At halftime it is still 0-0 in the women's hockey match. They need to win by 4 goals to top their group. A draw will be enough to move on to the semifinals and a loss knocks them out of medal contention.
What is the final score?
It remained 0-0 so the women will play Cuba tomorrow in the semi-final. The men won 11-0 and will play hosts Mexico in a semi-final on Saturday.
It look like DR playing some serious hockey now. We used to to great at netball and hockey. Netball is struggling to remain relevant among our ladies. Hockey maybe in the same boat also.
DR has invested in the game in 2 main ways: 1) hired an Argentine coach and 2) gave citizenship to a few Argentines (and I think Cubans as well) giving themselves an immediate boost. The men's hockey team is actually pretty good at the moment, while the women have some young promising players. It's not a big decline as yet.
