MÖNCHENGLADBACH, Germany – Following their match with No. 2 Great Britain this past weekend, the No. 12 U.S. Women's National Team continued their FIH Pro League road trip through Europe against No. 5 Germany at the HockeyPark in Mönchengladbach. The last time the two sides faced each other was nearly two years ago in the title game of the 2017 FIH Hockey World League Semifinals. Today’s contest held the same intensity and almost mimicked the game progress as Germany got on the scoreboard first, but consistent pressure saw USA equalize at the end of the third. A penalty stroke goal in the final quarter by Die Danas turned out to be the game-decider as USA fell 2-1.
