Photo ReutersThe Black Sticks women's quarter-final match against the Hockeyroos played out just as Anita Mclaren had envisioned. McLaren, Kelsey Smith, Gemma Flynn and Olivia Merry all got on the scoresheet for the fourth-ranked Black Sticks while Kathryn Slattery scored two consolation goals for the Australians. McLaren chose the perfect time to open her penalty corner account in the tournament to shoot over the head of Jodie Kenny in the seventh minute. The Hockeyroos reduced the deficit early in the second half when Slattery latched onto a pass from Madonna Blyth after a penalty corner scramble.
