Preparing for the Caribbean leg first round of the Women’s World Cup Qualifiers to be held from April 7-14, T&T will play probably their toughest match tonight against University of South Carolina (USC) from 6pm at Stone Stadium, before closing out their tour against Coastal Carolina University on Sunday, from 6 p.m. in Conway, South Carolina.

Meanwhile, Cordner, Tasha St Louis, Maylee Attin Johnson and Lauren Hutchinson all scored in T&T’s opening win over Charlestown Southern University.
