THE Lady Jags picked up their first defeat at the CONCACAF U17 Girls Championship Qualifiers, when they went down 0-6 yesterday at the IMG Academy in Bradenton, Florida.

Both sides had opened their campaign with a win, with the Lady Jags edging Anguilla 1-0, and Honduras getting the better of Turks and Caicos 7-0.

It was an intense start from the two teams, but soon Honduras took over, beginning with a right-footed finish from Anyeli Rodriguez in the 28th minute for a 1-0 Honduras lead.

The goal gave the Central American side a big boost of confidence and a minute later in the 29th Karla Calix scored the first of her three goals to double the advantage, 2-0.

Calix then notched her second of the day with another right-footed strike in the 45th to give Honduras a 3-0 halftime lead.

Calix’s scorching form carried into the second half and another right-footed shot found the back of the net in the 48th to earn Calix a hat-trick and a 4-0 lead for her side.

Honduras kept the pressure on and it became 5-0 via a Guyana own goal in the 68th off of Anostasha Coppin.

Jalade Trim saw her almost perfectly taken free kick being denied by an exceptional save by the Honduras keeper.

Honduras then put the finishing touch on their day in the 90+3 minutes with Rodriguez scoring her second of the match via the penalty spot to complete the 6-0 scoreline.

In the day’s other match, both Anguilla and Turks and Caicos Islands picked up their first point of the tournament after the two sides battled to a 0-0 draw.

The stars were goalkeepers Crystal Jean Baptiste of Turks and Caicos Islands and Dainelle Proctor of Anguilla, who each made a number of saves to keep their respective sides from conceding.

Group C will conclude tomorrow, with Honduras squaring off with Anguilla, while Guyana will meet Turks and Caicos Islands.
