China's women beat South Korea 5-2 at Ice Hockey Worlds


Speaking afterwards, China's head coach Jakob Koelliker said he was pleased with the win, but warned against complacency going forward.
"Today was a really good game for us," said the Swiss. "We knew we had to keep up the speed we had [against Latvia], and in the end the result was good for us, so I'm really happy. Everybody worked really hard, but we have big opponents coming and we have to keep focused."
China's two-goal forward Fang was named player of the match, and paid tribute to her side's pre-game preparations.
"What we achieved today is the result of our hard training, but we can't rest on our laurels. There's always room for improvement. Before the game, Jakob told us to be patient, play our natural game and take our chances."
China's next match is on Tuesday against the Netherlands, who also defeated South Korea 5-2 in their opening game on Friday.
