Trinidad and Tobago tasted their first defeat of the qualifying series on Friday when they were whipped 4-1 by Jamaica. But there was never any chance of a repeat of that disaster today.
Nippy forward Kayla Taylor continued her impressive scoring record, as she put the Warriors ahead in the 12th minute. It was her eighth goal of the competition and meant that the US-based player had scored in every match in Jamaica.
