The young Girlz grabbed nine points to finish as the best team in Group E. They scored 10 goals to secure maximum nine points. They also didn’t concede a single goal.
The Jamaicans dominated with a 6-0 win over Anguilla before humbling Bermuda in a 2-0 win. The Girlz then secured another 2-0 win over Honduras after Natoya Atkinson scored two goals.
