Five - Kayla Whitelock, Anita McLaren, Gemma Flynn, Charlotte Harrison and Stacey Michelsen - each had more than 200. The team has excelled of late, finishing as beaten finalists to world No 2 Argentina in December's World League final. If the Black Sticks were to win in Rio it would be the country's first gold in a teams event involving three or more people for 32 years. Against Australia the Black Sticks led throughout with goals from McLaren, Kelsey Smith, Flynn and Olivia Merry.
