Australian women’s
hockey forward Emily Hurtz has decided to call it a day. The New South Wales
girl, who has made 85 international appearances and scored 30 goals, was part of Hockeyroos’
silver-winning World Cup team.
The 24 year-old striker
has intimated her decision to call it quits to Hockey Australia so that she is
not considered for selection for the upcoming Commonwealth Games. Emily bade
goodbye to international hockey as she wants to focus on her full-time studies and
also pursue other interests.
She made her
senior international debut against South Africa in 2009 – Emily has won a
Commonwealth Games gold medal, Champions Trophy silver, gold at the World
League semi-final tournament and gold at the 2012 Champions Challenge besides
her recent World Cup exploits.
