RANCHI, Jan 5: Italy women's team captain Sara Puglisi said on Thursday that her side is high on confidence while gearing up for a "tough" challenge against higher-ranked teams in the FIH Hockey Olympic qualifiers scheduled to begin here on January 13. The Italian side will begin its campaign on January 13 against New Zealand, which will be the first meeting between the two teams in seven years. World No. 19 Italy are grouped in Pool B and will take on the USA on January 14, and then play their final Pool game against India on January 16. "We know it will be a tough competition. But everything is open and nothing is impossible. We will do what we need to get the results in our favour," said Puglisi after Italy arrived here.
