Canada secures a 12:0 win in their second match at the 2023 Concacaf Women’s Under-20 Qualifiers

Canada secured their second win at the 2023 Concacaf Women’s Under-20 Qualifiers after a 12:0 win against St. Vincent and the Grenadines. The Sunday win featured nine  goalscorers, eight of which also scored in the opening match against Martinique. 

Substitutes Annabelle Chukwu and Jeneva Hernandez Gray scored a goal within 15 minutes of stepping foot on the pitch in the second half, starters Nyah Rose and Kayla Briggs each scored a goal, while Olivia Smith scored a hat trick after opening the scoresheet with back-to-back penalties and a late goal before halftime. The second half featured two goals each from birthday girl Ella McBride and forward Rosa Maalouf while Jadea Collin added a goal of her own. Goalkeeper Noelle Henning and her backline posted the clean sheet while Jadea Collin was named player of the match.

“We’ve had two games with two different lineups and with these results we’re really pleased with the progress,” said Cindy Tye, Canada Soccer’s Women U-20 Coach. “It’s really about getting them ready for the next steps, we’re pushing them to execute and play very quickly in this short competition. I’m really happy with what I’ve seen this past week as we look towards our match against Cuba.”
