Odisha-based team wins back-to-back matches at Khelo India Women’s Hockey League

New Delhi: The Odisha Naval Tata Hockey High Performance Center bagged their second successive victory at the Khelo India Women’s Hockey League Under 21 on Thursday. While the team won their first Group A match 1-0 against the Raja Nahar Academy on Wednesday, they sealed a massive 11-0 victory against the Mumbai School Sports Association on Thursday.

Against the Mumbai-based team, the Naval Tata Hockey High Performance Centre rode on braces each from Sandhya Kujur and Munmuni Das en-route to their 11-0 victory.

“The team has tried to play in the best way possible. Of course, we have taken a little time to settle in from our 1-0 win yesterday but we are finally on the right track. We did well today to get the 11-0 win. Our defence and attack was good as well,” Sandeep Kaur, coach, Naval Tata Hockey, said.

“We started the academy back in 2019 and most of our players are God-gifted and everyone is talented enough and have prepared in the best way possible for this competition.”
