The New Zealand women's hockey team have recorded a rare win against Germany after claiming a 4-3 victory in the first match of the two-Test series in Berlin.
The two Tests are taking place before both teams meet in the pool round at the Champions Trophy at the end of the month.
After almost a day of travelling with six hours of stopovers, as well as two team practices on Sunday, the Black Sticks performed exceptionally well, coming back from 3-1 at half-time to win the game, however three of Germany's key players did not play in this game.
The Black Sticks' goals were scored by Krystal Forgesson, who bagged a double, with Charlotte Harrison and Kayla Sharland also finding the back of the net.
After the second Test against Germany the Black Sticks leave Berlin for the Netherlands, where they're set to play several practice games against China, The Netherlands and Korea in preparation for Champions Trophy which starts on June the 25th.
