Women's Hockey World League Round 2: Malaysia Beat Russia 3-0

Malaysia defeated Russia 3-0 to register their second consecutive victory at the FIH Women's World League Round 2 here on Sunday.

Malaysia scored all their goals after halftime as both the teams matched each other in the opening 30 minutes of the Pool B game.

After a barren first half, Hanis Onn broke the deadlock for Malaysia in the 37th minute with a field goal.

Juliani Din (40th) doubled Malaysia's lead three minutes later by converting a penalty corner before Fazilla Sylvester Silin scored another field goal a minute from the final hotter to round off the tally.

Malaysia had earlier defeated Kazakhstan 8-0 in their tournament opener.

Malaysia will next play Singapore on Tuesday, while Russia will face Kazakhstan.
