Great Britain's Para-ice hockey team finished fourth in the Women's World Challenge after losing 4-1 to Team Europe in their final match in Skien, Norway.

Captain Emily Louise McLean was on target for GB, but a hat-trick from Lena Schroder and one from Alexandra Bendiksen completed a convincing win for Europe.

It means Breanna Wagner's GB side end the tournament with one win and three three defeats from their four matches.

The United States, Canada and Team Pacific also took part in the event, now in its third year, with the teams playing each other once in a round robin format over four days.

Team USA won gold for the third time after ending their tournament with a 3-0 victory over Canada, who took silver for the third year in a row, with Europe claiming bronze.
