Russia W - FSO Hockey Moscow 2001 - 4:6

The women's national team played their second friendly match ahead of the 2016 IIHF World Championship. Today's game was against an FSO Hockey Moscow side born in 2001.

Yesterday our girls defeated a team born in 2002 5:3, however today was always going to be a sterner test. Galina Skiba, Fanuza Kadirova and Tatyana Burina netted our goals, but unfortunately that wasn't enough - FSO Hockey Moscow scored six goals to come out on top 6:4.
