Giedrė Labuckienė, Justina Miknaitė, Kamilė Nacickaitė-van der Horst and Gabrielė Šulskė held on for most of the match, but in the end, the rivals managed to get our players into their game.
At the start of the last minute, the score was still equal (14:14), but then Miriam Uro-Nilie scored both penalties, and the Lithuanians’ attempt to save themselves was fruitless.
Kamilė Nacickaitė-van der Horst’s last long shot missed the target.
In this tournament, Lithuanians have the 18th ranking, Ukrainians – 14th.
Thursday evening at 5:40 p.m. Our team will finish the battles of Group D against Japan.
On the first day of the competition on Tuesday, Lithuania beat Canada, but lost against France.
The winners of the group will immediately go to the quarter-finals, and the second and third-placed teams will continue the fight in the round of 16.
