The women’s quarter finals schedule has been confirmed following the conclusion of pool play at the Ford National Hockey League on Tuesday.
Auckland came through the day as the only side to win all three of their pool matches after downing the Canterbury Cats 1-0.
Both sides played out a tight and goalless first half before Samantha Harrison delivered the winning goal with a cracking reverse shot in the 40th minute.
Auckland, who finish top of Pool A with 12 points, now prepare for a cross-over quarter final against the Central Mysticks (4th in Pool B) at 3pm on Thursday.
Northland wrapped pool play undefeated but had to work hard for a 3-1 shoot-out result over the Central Mysticks after the score was level 2-2 at fulltime.
Central scored the first two goals through Hope Ralph (7th minute) and Tinesha Carey (17th minute) to carry a 2-0 lead into halftime.
Northland stormed home in the second half with Jodie Nichol scooping a double from the field to force the deciding shoot-out.
The two competition points were enough to secure Northland a first place finish in Pool B, setting up a quarter final against the Southern Storm at 1pm on Thursday.
In other results, Midlands edged past North Harbour 1-0 thanks to a second half penalty corner goal scored by Gemma McCaw.
The Capital Cyclones overcame the Southern Storm 4-2 to close out the day’s play with a brace from Jess Chisholm and additional goals to Lydia Velzian and Amy Lawton.
The women now have a day off ahead of Thursday’s quarter finals while the men play their final round of pool play from 1:00pm tomorrow.

National Hockey League tournament system flawed says Canty coach

Defending champions, the Canterbury Cats, have reached the National Hockey League quarterfinals, but coach Andy Innes says the tournament's new format is flawed.
Unlike last year, when competition games were played over a series of weekends prior to deciding the post-section qualifiers, the New Zealand Hockey tournament is staged for a week in Wellington. And regardless of where teams finish in pool play, they all qualify for the sudden-death phase.
Innes didn't agree with the introduction of the new system, as essentially it meant opening results counted for nothing and were seen as just a training run for the finals stages. "It's a cut-throat quarterfinal scenario this year."
With only one loss to Auckland on Tuesday, Innes has been pleased with the young Canterbury side's progress as throughout the week.
Innes' side has a different look to last year's winners, with 50 per cent of the squad making their NHL debuts. Blacks Sticks' strikers Olivia Merry and Kat Tinning were ruled out with injury prior to the tournament.
Despite less experience and injuries woes, Innes was confident his side would put up a good fight in their quarterfinal against North Harbour on Thursday, a side they suffered a 4-2 defeat to three weeks ago.
"We've lifted our game a bit more since then. We are learning a lot this week and for a lot of the girls it's their first NHL. We have half with loads of experience and the other half youth."
Although the side had failed to sink crucial goals and put away opportunities, they had still scraped-out wins against Southern 3-0 and Capital 1-0.
"We've had good defence as we haven't let a lot of goals in, but we have created chances and just haven't been able to put them in the net."
In their loss to Auckland it was a late goal from Black Stick Samantha Harrison which took the match form the Cats' grip. Auckland, who finish top of Pool A with 12 points, now prepare for a cross-over quarter final against the Central Mysticks.
Northland wrapped-up pool play undefeated but had to work hard for a 3-1 shoot-out result over the Central Mysticks after the score was level 2-2 at fulltime. The two competition points were enough to secure Northland a first place finish in Pool B, setting up a quarterfinal against the Southern Storm.
In other results, Midlands edged past North Harbour 1-0 thanks to a second half penalty corner goal scored by Gemma McCaw. The Capital Cyclones overcame the Southern 4-2 to close out the day's play.
The men's quarter finalists will be decided by the close of play Wednesday.

GTB Gold Cup: Indian Oil, South Central Railway declared joint winners due to heavy rain
s2h team
Indian Oil, Mumbai and South Central Railway, Secundrabad were declared joint winners of the 13th PMC Bank-Guru Tegh Bahadur Gold Cup All India Hockey Tournament.
Incessant heavy showers which lashed the city on Monday forced the organisers, Mumbai Hockey Association Limited and Tournament Director, Mahesh Kumar to take the decision to share the trophy between the two teams and also split the total prize-money of Rs three lakhs.
The astroturf ground at the MHAL-Mahindra stadium was water-logged and with no respite from the rain the Tournament Director, Mahesh Kumar, after holding consultations with MHAL President, Mangha Singh Bakshi and Hon. Gen. Secretary Ram Singh Rathor, took the decision to abandon the match even before the players could take the field.
Indian Oil, had defeated Punjab Police, Jalandhar 4-1 in the first semi-final on Monday to make their third entry into the final of this tournament. They had finished runners-up in 2003 and 2008. Meanwhile, South Central Railway, who had lost to Army XI in the 2014 final, got the better of the same opponent (Army XI, Bengaluru) 3-2 in the second semi finals.

Our job is to focus only on game: Manpreet
Dhananjay Roy
MUMBAI: Staying alert is an attribute that comes naturally to all good hockey players. After all, it is this quality which helps them take split-second decisions as they go around anticipating and neutralising moves that their opponents are making on the pitch. But, even the best practitioners of the sport were in for a shock at the start of this month when Hockey India announced the sacking of Roelant Oltmans, chief coach of the senior men's team.
It was expected that the Dutchman would be spoken to by the powers that be after a string of ordinary results this year, but little did one envision that the veteran coach would get the boot, given the fact that he had done well to raise the standard of the sport in the country over the past few years.
"We never thought such a major decision was around the corner. After all, as players, our duty is to focus on the game and prepare for forthcoming tournaments," skipper of the Indian team, Manpreet Singh, told TOI on Tuesday. The young midfielder will be leading the side at the Asia Cup in Dhaka between October 11-22.
So, how are the players in the camp that's underway in Bengaluru reacting to developments off the pitch, given that unlike other foreign coaches, Oltmans enjoyed a relatively stable tenure?" At the moment, we are focussing only on the Asia Cup and nothing else. It's an important tournament for us and we would like to do well," said Manpreet.
Another Dutchman Sjoerd Marijne has been appointed the chief coach, but he is currently with the Indian women's team in Europe. Nevertheless, Marijne is tracking the men's camp closely and has been interacting with the players.
"He has been devising training schedules for us and the senior players are in regular contact with him over video conferencing. We are working according to his plans and he will join us soon," said the 25-year-old.
On expected lines, some of the senior players like Sardar Singh and SV Sunil are back in the 18-member squad with the latter being appointed the vice-captain of the team. Manpreet, who led a young outfit to Europe, where India played Belgium and the Netherlands, hopes to gain from their inputs.
In Dhaka, India are grouped with Bangladesh, Pakistan and Japan. Though they are expected to sail through this pool, Manpreet is taking nothing for granted. "We can't afford to get complacent. We have learnt our lessons well after not doing well at the Hockey World League in June." He was referring to India's shock loss to Malaysia and Canada in the competition that led to his team finishing a poor sixth.
While most players in the midfield and forward line have adequate experience playing at the senior level, some of the defenders are still finding their feet on the circuit.
"Dipsan (Tirkey), Harmanpreet (Singh) and Varun (Kumar) are talented and we hope they will be able to do well. They are also good with the drag-flick, so that has allowed us to work on numerous short corner variations," explained Manpreet.

QPCC, Magnolias seal titles
Rachael Thomspon-King
Members of the QPCC team after winning the Men’s Open title, after beating Malvern, 6-3, in the National Indoor Hockey League on Sunday at the Woodbrook Youth Facility.Hockey
Earlier, SC Magnolias was crowned the women’s champion after a tough come from behind, 2-1 win over Paragon in the competition hosted by the T&T Hockey Board.
In the men’s finale, it was Aidan De Gannes opening the scoring for QPCC with a goal in the 12th minute. Four minutes later, Durity put his team further ahead and it looked to be going in at the half with a 2-0 advantage but Kieron Emmanuel managed to pull one back in the 19th minute for the defending champion.
The Malvern players continued to search for an opening to tie the scores but Stefan Mouttet spoiled their plans giving his team a 3-1 advantage, two minutes into the second half. Govia added salt to the wound, slotting home in his opener in the 27th with Durity returning a minute later, to score his second item and give QPCC a 5-1 lead.
Despite being down by four goals, Emmanuel kept challenging the QPCC defenders and was rewarded for his determination with his and Malvern’s second goal in the 37th.
However, the celebration was shortlived as Govia came again two minutes later and connected QPCC’s sixth item. Kristien Emmanuel had the last say though, connecting Malvern’s third goal in the 40th but it was all in vain.
It was an exciting affair in the women’s final with Savannah De Freitas providing the winner for Magnolias to seal the title.
Zene Henry had Paragon ahead as early as the third minute and her team enjoyed that lead in the first session. The second stanza remained competitive and it wasn’t until seven minutes into the half that Magnolias answered back with a goal from Shaniah De Freitas. A minute later Savannah completed a penalty shot to earn her team the victory.
In the Under-19 Division, Paragon edged Malvern, 5-4, to claim the boys’ crown while Magnolias topped Paragon, 5-2, to win the girls’ title.

Maryland field hockey loses, 2-1, to No. 17 Princeton after first-half struggles
By Scott Gelman
A woman in the bleachers twirled a black and orange umbrella as time ran off the clock in the No. 10 Maryland field hockey team's loss 2-1 loss to No. 17 Princeton on Tuesday. When the final buzzer sounded, the Tigers gathered in front of their goal and started jumping.
Then, they ran toward the Princeton fans in attendance at the Field Hockey & Lacrosse Complex. They screamed and danced. All coach Missy Meharg's team could do was watch.
A second half burst helped Maryland get on the board, but there wasn't enough time for the squad to respond to Princeton's two first half goals. So, the Terps, who had seemingly turned the corner after winning four straight games, had to consider their own shortcomings as Princeton celebrated.
"I keep saying they're still kind of jelling and getting used to each other, but I think we're past that point," Meharg said. "It's up to them to understand each of their responsibilities and not feel accountable for someone to else to do it."
Again, a slow first half plagued Maryland. Four minutes into the game, Princeton striker Ryan McCarthy deposited the ball into the middle of Maryland's unguarded net. McCarthy beat Maryland midfielder Brooke Adler in a one-on-one matchup before shooting past goalkeeper Sarah Holliday, who stood several feet away from the goal.
Then, in the 27th minute, the Tigers added another finish. Midfielder Clara Roth fielded the ball after a missed penalty corner attempt and lobbed it over Holliday's head.
That proved to be all the offense Princeton would require, as the Tigers backline disrupted a Maryland attacking unit that scored a combined seven times against Indiana and Bucknell last week. Maryland held a 7-6 shooting advantage in both halves, but freshman defender Brooke DeBerdine said the Tigers' speed and depth made their offense challenging to contain.
In the 32nd minute, Clara Roth brought the ball up the right sideline before sliding the ball through the legs of midfielder Brooke Adler.
Though Roth ran out of space as she drifted toward the corner, the flashy move underlined Princeton's superiority in the upset. The Terps trailed at the intermission for the first time since their loss to then-No. 12 Boston College on Sept.3 .
"In the first half, we need to play how we're going to play the whole game and set that standard from the beginning," DeBerdine said. "Every single practice, we need to show up. Every practice, every first half [and] every second half. It needs to be all the time for us."
Maryland's energy and ability to win 50-50 balls helped it remain competitive in the second half, Meharg said.
About 11 minutes into the second period, defender Bodil Keus earned a penalty stroke, which she capitalized on to cut the deficit to one.
The Terps then created a number of opportunities but struggled to generate another goal. They ran out of time and were forced to watch Princeton celebrate Maryland's third loss this season.
"We have to come out and dominate, because now we're coming a little bit too late and we're getting our momentum in the second half," midfielder Lein Holsboer said. "It's a one goal difference, so we need to get on the scoreboard a little bit quicker."
