This Bronze Medal Is Huge Confidence Booster: Coach Rani Rampal On India U18 Women's Asia Cup Campaign
Coach Rani Rampal: Indian U-18 women's hockey team coach Rani Rampal termed the team's Asia Cup bronze medal a "huge confidence booster," even as captain Sweety Kujur expressed slight disappointment over missing out on the gold.
The Indian junior eves put up a spirited display at the continental tournament, as they finished at the top of Pool A after winning all three of their matches in dominant fashion. The team scored an incredible 30 goals while conceding only two throughout the pool stage.
However, after an intense and well-fought 2-2 draw over four quarters, they suffered a 1-3 defeat in shootout against China in their semi-final clash. But they secured the bronze medal after registering a commanding 3-0 victory over Korea in the third-place playoff.
