Indian archers crumbled under pressure against the mighty Koreans and Chinese to lose all their six summit clashes to conclude their Asia Cup Stage 3 campaign in fifth spot in the medal standings, here on Saturday.
Even without a single yellow metal, India ended up with seven medals -- six silver and one bronze.
The archery powerhouse Korea accounted for four gold, one silver and two bronze medals to top the medal standings. China finished second with four gold and three bronze medals.
India began the day going down to Korea by two points (232-234) in the compound women's team final.
From a four-point deficit in the first end, the trio of Sakshi Chaudhary, Pragati and Deepika bounced back to make it 175-176.
But in the final end, one of the Indians shot an wayward 8 to slip further as the Korean team sealed the issue.
