United States women's national field hockey team
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The United States women's national field hockey team represents the United States in the international field hockey competitions. The women's team, coached by Australia's Lee Bodimeade since 2005, made its first international appearance at the 1983 Women's Hockey World Cup in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, where Team USA ended up in sixth place.
A year later, when Los Angeles, California hosted the 1984 Summer Olympics, the team won their first international prize, a bronze medal, after The Netherlands defeated Australia (2-0) in the final match of the round-robin tournament and Australia and the United States were left tied for third place with identical records: two wins, two losses, one draw, and nine goals scored and seven goals conceded. Following the Holland-Australia match, the United States players came down from the stands and competed with the Australians in a penalty shoot-out to decide the bronze medal. The US won the shootout (10-5) to claim America's first Olympic medal in women's field hockey.
