Perth, May 1 (PTI) The Indian women's hockey team fought hard before going down 0-2 against Australia in the third game of its Down Under tour at the Perth Hockey Stadium here on Thursday. This match was India's first outing against Australia's main team. From the onset, Australia pressed hard on India's defence, winning an early penalty corner but the scoreline remained unchanged. Australia eventually broke the deadlock in the ninth minute when Schonell found the back of the net to give her team the lead. The hosts threatened to double their lead with another penalty corner but failed. In the second quarter, India showed intent and earned two penalty corners in quick succession, but the equaliser eluded them. Despite their growing impact on the game, India went into half-time trailing by a goal. The third quarter was another goalless affair. Both teams were unable to convert their chances, including a penalty corner apiece. In pursuit of the equaliser in the fourth quarter, India conceded the second goal when Steward slotted it into the net from open play at the 52nd minute. The Aussies did not squander that 2-0 advantage. India will take on Australia again in the fourth match of the tour here on Saturday.
