The Black Sticks have battled to a 2-0 win over China at Ngå Puna Wai stadium in Christchurch.
The match looked like it was going to go down to the wire until Olivia Merry sealed the result with three minutes remaining.
The sealer was Merry’s second goal after she gave her team the lead in the second half after being left unmarked in the circle and putting the ball past the Chinese goalkeeper.
