GEORGETOWN, Grand Cayman, CI – The inaugural CONCACAF Under-15 Girls’ Championship kicked off Wednesday August 6, 2014, in the Cayman Islands, with the Virgin Islands facing the hosts in the Tournament Opener.

Group A - Cayman Islands 5, Virgin Islands 0

In front of 1,100 fans at the Truman Bodden Sports Complex, Chelsea Green (15’, 25’, 30’) scored three goals to propel the host Cayman Islands to a 5-0 win over the Virgin Islands (VI).

Green – a veteran of the 2014 CONCACAF Women’s Under-20 Championship – opened the scoring with a free kick that found the target from 25-yards out, while Sabrina Suberan (23’) made it 2-0 eight minutes later. Deondra Kelly (70’) completed the scoreline in the last minute.

In their second Game played on Friday August 8th at the same venue, the VI Girls were unlucky to lose 2-1 to Curacao after Katie Lowery had put the Girls ahead in the 41st minute. The lead was short lived, though, as Lindsay Hart scored in the 46th and 50th minutes to give her team the win.

The VI will conclude Group Play on Sunday August 10, 2014 with a fixture against the Bahamas.

Bahamas 3, Curacao 0

At Ed Bush Stadium, the Bahamas scored two goals in the second half to top Curacao, 3-0. Meaghan Smith (13’) gave the eventual winner an early lead, while Jaleah Taylor (56’) and Marisa Vietti (64’) struck after the break.

Group B - Honduras 1, Bermuda 0

At the Truman Bodden Sports Complex, Andrea Lopez scored the only goal of the game as Honduras registered a 1-0 win over Bermuda. Lopez capitalized on a defensive miscue in the 21st minute to lob an effort into an open net. Led by Captain Leah Smith, Bermuda grew in confidence, but was unable to break down the Honduras defense. Midfielder Marcela Santos dictated tempo and was outstanding for Honduras.

Trinidad & Tobago 4, Barbados 0

At Ed Bush Stadium, Laurelle Theodore netted a brace in Trinidad & Tobago’s 4-0 win over Barbados. Shenieka Paul gave the Soca Princesses a 1-0 lead in 16th minute, which Nia Honore doubled 12 minutes later. Theodore (46’, 49’) put a punctuation mark on the victory with second-half strikes just three minutes apart.
