Trinidad, Jamaica, Cuba claim Caribbean berths in CONCACAF Women’s U-20s

Cuba claimed the last berth in the CONCACAF Women’s Under-20 Championship, beating St. Kitts and Nevis 6-0 Sunday to join Trinidad and Tobago and Jamaica as the Caribbean representatives.

Trinidad will travel to Guatemala in January as the Caribbean champion, earning that honor with a 1-1 draw against Jamaica on Sunday and finishing atop the four-team finals with a better goal difference.

The trio will face Central American winner Costa Rica, which clinched its berth on September 6, host Guatemala and North American entrants Canada, Mexico and the United States in the eight-team finals.

Yelenia Gallardo scored four goals for Cuba, two in each half, against St. Kitts and Nevis, and finished with six in the Caribbean qualifying.

Karissa Rodney tallied in the 85th minute for Trinidad to earn the draw for Trinidad and Tobago after Semone Honeghan had given Jamaica the lead in the 68th.

Forward Mariah Shade and midfielder Natasha St. Louis finished atop the scoring leaders with eight goals apiece, same as Raquel Rodriguez of Costa Rica, who has six in a 9-0 victory over Honduras on August 16.
