Great Britain beat Spain 4-3 after penalty-shots at iceSheffield in a challenge game ahead of next week’s women’s Olympic Qualifiers.

It’s the first of two warm-up games for GB with a match against Netherlands taking place on Tuesday (20:10 face-off), also in iceSheffield.

Ella Howard got the start between the pipes with Emma Nichols as back-up.

Indira Bosch puts the visitors ahead (12:23) and Laura Horwood equalised for GB on the powerplay (16:13).

Lidia Romero scored for Spain early in the second period (23:57), before Nichols replaced Howard in the GB goal.

Katie Marsden made it 2-2 on the powerplay (41:29) but Spain went ahead for a third time with Laura Gil Guerra on target (50:34).

GB lifted Nichols for the extra skater and Ellin Rees netted a dramatic equaliser with 20 seconds remaining (59:40).

There were no goals in overtime and Emily Harris scored the game-winning penalty-shot in sudden-death.
