Carol Nakombe, Zambia's latest talent exported to Italy, then took command, scoring an impressive six goals. Annie Mvula and Ireen Mulenga also marked their debut goals. Reflecting on the victory, Coach Chomba expressed, "This is an amazing experience for us, we have learnt alot of lessons from this tournament especially that we got a chance to play and watch some of the World's top ranked Hockey teams in action, we will definitely go back home with lots of positives." This win serves as a crucial morale boost for the team, shifting their focus to upcoming challenges, including the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations Qualifiers.
