Britain stun Dutch

Great Britain won their first Olympic Games women's hockey gold medal on Friday with a dramatic shoot-out triumph over two-time defending champions the Netherlands.

The British twice came from behind in normal time to draw 3-3 and then clinched a 2-0 shoot-out victory.

It was the Dutch team's first loss at an Olympics since 2004 -- after a run of 21 wins -- and shattered their bid to become the first team to win three successive gold medals.

Goalkeeper Maddie Hinch played the starring role for the British team, pulling off four saves in the shoot-out.

Britain, playing in their first final, had only won two bronze medals at past Games, in 1992 and 2012.

But they were in front in the opening period when Lily Owsley scored from close range after Sophie Bray had dribbled past three defenders.
