CONCACAF Women’s World Cup qualifiers kick-started Wednesday, and Guyana’s Lady Jags made a positive start with a comprehensive 4-0 victory over Dominica at Leonora, West Coast Demerara.

Lady Jags, drawn in Group F, which also has Turks and Caicos, Nicaragua and Trinidad & Tobago, get out early. Only the top team will progress to the next round.

Shanice Alfred was the first to rattle the back of the net with a shot from the left which beat the hands of the diving custodian, Christina Sobers, in the 17th minute.

Nine minutes later, Annalisa Vincent, who hails from Moruca and was aggressive around the box, got a loose ball and powered it past the keeper’s left, after which Syndey Cummings got her name on the scoresheet in the 35th minute.

It was a mundane start with a constant flow from both sides of the pitch, and Jags again took their time hunting for more goals.
Brianne Desa ensured Guyana’s wait for another goal was not too long as she beat the outstretched custodian via a powerful left-foot shot from outside the box in the 63rd minute.

Justine Rodrigues, the night’s playmaker, could have gotten her first, with a shot just in front of the goal, but the keeper dropped the barrier just in the nick of time.

Lady Jags will now travel to Turks and Caicos for their next match tomorrow.
