The Indian women's hockey team continued its unbeaten run and defeated South Korea 3-0 here on Friday to enter the semi-finals of the FIH Junior World Cup for only the second time.

The Indians, who topped the pool stage with an all-win record, scored through Mumtaz Khan (11th minute), Lalrindiki (15th) and Sangita Kumari (41st) to emerge winners in the quarter-final.

India's best result in the tournament remains the bronze medal finish at the 2013 edition in Germany, where they defeated England 3-2 in shootout following a 1-1 stalemate in regulation time.
