Black Sticks seal series and aim for whitewash

11:26 am on 8 September 2011

The New Zealand women's hockey team has won the series with the United States after a repeat 4-0 win in the third Test in San Diego.

The Black Sticks' second straight win by that scoreline sealed the five-match series 3-0.

Striker Gemma Flynn scored twice in extremely hot conditions she says reached 40 degrees.

Flynn says the goal now is to whitewash the Americans so they'll be afraid to face them again, should they meet at next year's London Olympics.
