UPDATE: Americans win in penalty shootout over Japan

A day after winning its playoff match over New Zealand in extra time, the United States beat Japan 4-2 on penalty strokes Saturday to clinch ninth place at the women's field hockey World Cup.

After the teams were scoreless in regular and extra time, the United States took a 2-0 lead in the penalty stroke shootout after Japan failed to score on its first two chances.

On Sunday, Argentina plays the Netherlands for the championship while Australia takes on China for third place.
