RIO DE JANEIRO -- Britain snatched Pool B out of the United States hands, scoring two goals in the final eight minutes Saturday to defeat the Americans 2-1 in womens field hockey.Sophie Bray scored midway through the fourth period, then Alex Danson barely got the stick on a long shot and redirected it into the goal three minutes later for the clincher.The United States would have won the pool with a draw because of goal difference, making Britains strong finish more dramatic.We have to show resilience, British player Kate Richardson-Walsh said. The American side are full of positive energy, full of resilience themselves. So we have to learn from that and feed off that.Topping the group means Britain avoids possibly running into the No. 1-ranked Netherlands, the Group A winner, until the final. The Netherlands, the two-time defending Olympic champion, has allowed just one goal in five matches at the Rio de Janeiro Games.In quarterfinal action on Monday, Britain will play Spain, the United States will face Germany, the Netherlands plays Argentina and Australia will square off with rival New Zealand.The Americans, who havent medaled since 1984, posted the best pool play performance in team history.Weve had a good set of pool games, United States coach Craig Parnham said. Were disappointed with the result tonight, but overall and for the week, weve been very good. Huge amount of positives to come out of the week. Todays not the worst thing that can happen. We can learn some lessons from there, make sure we regroup and reset before the quarterfinal.Britain outshot the United States 6-1 in the first half, but the match was scoreless at the break. Britain failed to score on four penalty corners, and U.S. goalkeeper Jackie Briggs had three saves in the first half.I think we were a bit outplayed, U.S. midfielder Michelle Vittese said. We dont ever like to do that. When we know that, I think it hits us a bit harder. Our job was just to get out there and do what we know we can do.The Americans had been a second-half team throughout pool play, and they looked ready to produce another strong effort. Vittese scored midway through the third quarter, and the United States took a 1-0 lead into the fourth period.Britain felt it was a matter of time before the dam burst. Briggs, who had been nearly impenetrable at the games, allowed two goals on two in the final period.We had a lot of possession, and just needed to turn it into a goal, Richardson-Walsh said. Its just believing, knowing that it would come.Two five-minute yellow cards hampered the United States in the second half. Julia Reinprecht got one late in the third period, and Vittese got one with 10 minutes remaining in the match.Britain scored its first goal with Vittese out.Our flow was interrupted a little bit by some of the cards, Parnham said. Playing with 10 is difficult, and we played a lot of that second half with 10. That makes a big difference.---Follow Cliff Brunt on Twitter (at)CliffBruntAPBouchon Hydro Flask France .

The Marlies battled back from a two-goal deficit before finally succumbing to the Griffins 5-4 in Game 3 of the American Hockey League Western Conference semifinals. The Griffins now own a 2-1 series lead entering Game 4 Friday night in Grand Rapids. "That was huge, and thats maybe one of the positives we take," Eakins said. "Our guys are resilient, and weve been through this playoff run before. They fully understand that you are never out of a game. I liked our push back, and I liked that we were able to come back, but we needed to play better defensively." The Marlies found themselves in a two-goal hole early, as Grand Rapids notched a pair of goals in the first six minutes of the game. It wasnt the start Toronto was hoping for after a Game 2 home win to even the series. "We got down two goals, and you dont want to do that to start off the game, but we regrouped and there was no panic on the bench," said Marlies right winger Carter Ashton, who had a goal and an assist. "It was a matter of believing in our system and executing." The Marlies got one back near the end of the first period when Ryan Hamilton scored in his first game since rejoining the team from the Maple Leafs. Grand Rapids took a 3-1 lead less than threee minutes into the second on a goal by Tomas Tatar, but the Marlies answered with a pair of timely goals.dddddddddddd Toronto made it 3-2 on an unassisted goal from Spencer Abbott, and tied it five minutes later on a power goal by Greg McKegg, who trickled in a shot past Grand Rapids goalie Petr Mrazek. The Griffins regained the lead with nearly three minutes remaining in the second as Francis Pare pushed a shot over MacIntyres shoulder to put Grand Rapids ahead 4-3. The Marlies gave up a goal 46 seconds in to fall behind again by two goals, but Ashton cut the gap to 5-4 with 15 minutes left in regulation. Toronto nearly tied it in the last three minutes but a short-handed shot by Mike Zigomanis deflected off the post. The play was reviewed, but it didnt turn out in Torontos favor. "We wouldve liked a little better luck on that," Eakins said. "Off the post, wide open net, and I know Ziggy wont sleep much tonight thinking about that." Grand Rapids outshot the Marlies 32-20, while MacIntyre finished with 27 stops. "We need more attempts at the net, and thats not even shot selection," Eakins said. "Thats getting the puck into the zone and getting it deep. We had certain individuals who wanted to do things on their own, and we were turning pucks over early and that denies you shots at their net." The Marlies and Griffins were both 1 for 4 on the power play. Mrazek had 16 saves. ' ' '
