The New Zealand women's hockey team will play off for fifth place at the World League Final in Tucuman, Argentina, after beating Korea 3-1 this morning.
In their first win at the tournament, the Black Sticks were clinical in both their attacking play and defensive organisation for most of the game.
Goals from Kayla Sharland, Petrea Webster and Gemma Flynn were enough to see them meet the winner of today's Germany versus China game at 3.30am tomorrow morning (NZ time).
Head coach Mark Hager said he was looking forward to finishing on a positive note.
"We're very pleased to get the win. It was good to get some early goals today and that set up a bit of a buffer,'' he said.
