Northland's Brooke Neal was amongst the goal scorers as New Zealand started their Commonwealth Games campaign in style yesterday with a 6-1 win over Scotland.
However, an injury to co-captain Anita McLaren will have coach Mark Hager worried going forward.
Doubles to Rose Keddell and Shiloh Gloyn helped them to a comfortable victory but it was Neal's goal from a penalty corner that was the pick of the bunch.
A deft pass from McLaren off the inbounds disrupted the Scots before Neal classily slotted the goal.
Conceding a fourth-quarter penalty goal won't have impressed Hager but with the result more than secure already it shouldn't keep him up at night.
