GANGNEUNG, South Korea (AP) — The roar echoed through the Kwandong Hockey Centre the moment Randi Heesoo Griffin's shot from the right circle crossed the line for the first Olympic goal in Korean women's hockey history.
Then the Japanese topped the combined Korean team's moment with an even bigger piece of history.
Their first victory in their third Olympic berth with a 4-1 win at Korea's expense.
"It is very special to win against Korea, and I feel really great, especially considering the fact that we came here as an away team and we still won," Japan forward Chiho Osawa said.
