THE WAY TO ATHENS

August 12, 2003
Field Hockey Canada

Canadian Women 5th at PAGs

The Canadian women win their final match at the Pan American Games beating Trinidad and Tobago 6-0.

Having set a performance target of finishing in the top three, the Canadian women were not able to advance out of their pool having lost to the USA 3-0, as well as only drawing 1-1, with Uruguay.

Qualifying through the PAGs for the 2004 Summer Olympics in Athens was always a long shot for the Canadian women. To do so, the women would need to have defeated the current world champions, Argentina, in the gold medal match.
