HIL: Lancers maintain unbeaten run with tie breaker win against Accord Tamil Nadu Dragons

Bhubaneshwar, Jan 18(UNI): Vedanta Kalinga Lancers maintained their unbeaten run in the Men’s Hero Hockey India League (HIL), registering a 4-1 penalty shootout win against Accord Tamil Nadu Dragons after the two teams were tied 1-1 at the end of regulation time at the Kalinga Hockey Stadium on Sunday.
Blake Govers opened the scoring to put the Dragons in front before Alexander Hendrickx equalised for the Lancers. Krishan Pathak was exceptional in goal for table-toppers in regulation time, while Jed Snowden came off the bench to dominate in the shootout, helping his side record their sixth successive win of the season.
Accord Tamil Nadu Dragons began the game on the front foot, pushing forward with some neat interplay to put the table-toppers under early pressure. However, Alexander Hendrickx came closest to opening the scoring after his dragflick from the first penalty corner of the game was cleared off the line in the 9th minute. The Dragons also delivered enough threat on the other end, forcing Krishan Pathak into action on a couple of occasions in the first quarter.
