RIO DE JANEIRO — The United States women’s field hockey team placed fifth at the Olympics, the program’s best finish in 20 years.
The Americans lost their quarterfinal match to Germany on Monday. Their final ranking is based on their second-place finish in pool play.
The Americans also placed fifth at the 1996 Games in Atlanta. Their only better finish was third at the 1984 Games. This year’s squad set program records for most wins in pool play with four, and most goals in an Olympic match, with six against Japan.
The Americans defeated No. 2 Argentina and No. 3 Australia in their first two matches, then knocked off Japan and India to take the lead in Pool B. The United States led its final pool match against Britain heading into the fourth period before losing 2-1.
