Overview
- SCHC routed Tilburg 7-0 away to reach 22 points from eight matches, with seven wins and only a draw against Den Bosch.
- Jip Dicke scored three times, Yibby Janssen converted two penalty corners, and Pien Dicke added two goals in the win.
- Coach Robbert van de Peppel credits Pien Dicke’s sharper first touch and mentality, while noting room to grow in off-ball work and carrying.
- After heart rhythm problems in 2018 and years of injuries, Dicke says increased body awareness and experience have expanded her leadership role; she also won Olympic gold with the Netherlands in 2024.
- Den Bosch sits fifth after seven games with two losses and two draws, and former coach Herman Kruis attributes the slump to lapses in focus and training intensity but expects a recovery and playoff qualification.
