FIL Women's Lacrosse World Cup 2009
Friday, 26 June 2009

The Danish Women's National Team has played it's final game in the 2009 World Cup in Prague. The Danish women beat South Korea 17-3, and secured the 15th place it the tournament.

The team has played 7 games in just 9 days, including the tournament opening game against Austria, which Denmark lost 16-7. Another group game followed against the Haudenosaunee. Losing this game 2-16 meant that the Danes were to face the Netherlands and South Korea in a mini league.

The first game of the mini league was another loss, 4-18 against the Netherlands, but the second game gave Denmark the first win of the tournament, when South Korea was beat 15-2.

This meant that the Danes were up against Germany. Beating the Germans would allow Denmark to play for positions 9 through 12, while loosing would mean playing for positions 13 through 16. Unfortunately the Germans proved too strong and took away a 24-1 victory.

This left the Danish women with a chance for revenge against Austria. With a score of 7-7 at half time the Austrians came out strong and took the lead. But the Danes never gave up and fought for a come back. They almost caught up, but at 10-9 the Danish team ran out of time.

The seventh and final game of the tournament was a rematch against South Korea. Like in the first match Denmark took home a secure win, this time 17-3.

The World Cup final between defending champions Australia and USA will be played tomorrow, Saturday 27/6 at 15:00.
