A 13th-minute drag flick from Great Britain's Giselle Ansley proved crucial as the Hockeyroos went down 1-0 in their FIH Pro League series opener in Christchurch.
In a game that saw goalmouth action at both ends and the respective goalkeepers forced into producing a string of fine saves, it was Ansley's first-quarter goal from a penalty corner that separated the teams.
