Katherine Barker scored three goals as Hong Kong claimed their first win at the women’s lacrosse World Cup after recording a 7-3 victory over Switzerland on Sunday in England.
Hong Kong goalkeeper Liu Hiu Tan claimed the player of the match award to give Taylor’s side the chance to earn a place in the second-tier platinum bracket with a victory over South Korea on Monday.
Hong Kong, who finished 18th out of 19 teams at the 2013 World Cup in Canada after recording two wins over Sweden, lost 14-9 to South Korea at the Asia-Pacific Championship last month.
South Korea have also won one and lost two of their opening three games after losing 17-5 to Haudenosaunee and 11-10 to Italy either side of a 10-3 win over Switzerland.
