The New Zealand women's hockey team's victory over Australia finally put a much needed tick in the win column over our transtasman rivals at the Rio Olympics.
Not only do Australia sit well ahead on the medal tally (22 totals medals compared to New Zealand's eight) but the bigcousins across the ditch also dominate the head-to-head match-ups.
It began on day three when shooter Natalie Rooney was pipped by Aussie Catherine Skinner in the gold medal match. Rooney was a surprise finalist but gave up a two-shot lead in the final before losing by a single point.
