Casey Kaufhold, American archers knocked out of Olympic women's team bracket

Lancaster County's Casey Kaufhold did not advance in her quest for a women's team Olympic archery medal early Sunday morning.

The Conestoga Valley graduate and her United States teammates, Catalina Gnoriega and Jennifer Mucino, fell to Taiwan in the 1/8 elimination round at  Esplanade des Invalides in Paris. The Taiwanese team of Chiu Yi-Ching, Lei Chien-Ying and Li Tsai-Chi scored a 5-1 decision, and advanced to a quarterfinal-round match against Korea.

In other elimination-round results early Sunday, the Netherlands (Quinty Roeffen, Gaby Schloesser and Laura van der Winkel) defeated France (Lisa Barbelin, Amelie Cordeau and Caroline Lopez) 6-0; Indonesia (Diananda Choirunisa, Syifa Nurafifah Kamal and Rezza Octavia) topped Malaysia (Syaqiera Mashayikh, Nurul Azreena Mohamad Fazil and Ariana Nur Dania Mohamad Zairi) 5-3, and Germany (Katharina Bauer, Michelle Kroppen and Charline Schwarz) beat Britain (Penny Healey, Megan Havers and Bryony Pitman) 6-0.

In the next round later Sunday, the Netherlands will face India, Indonesia will meet China and Germany will take on Mexico. Semifinals and the bronze- and gold-medal matches will follow.
