Punjab defeat Lancers 4-1

Bhubaneswar, Simon Orchard and Satbir Singh scored a field goal each as Punjab Warriors registered a 4-1 victory over Kalinga Lancers to propel to the second position in the fourth edition of the Hockey India League.
The visitors emerged victorious through field strikes from Orchard (48th minute) and Satbir Singh (58th) after the Lancers took the lead through a penalty corner conversion by Glenn Turner in the 42nd minute.
By virtue of this win, Punjab Warriors have moved to the second spot in the standings with 22 points from seven games. Lancers too have similar points from as many matches but they are on top the table because of superior goal difference. Lancers will host defending champions Ranchi Rays tomorrow, while Punjab Warriors will travel to Lucknow to face Uttar Pradesh Wizards on Wednesday.
