SAN CRISTOBAL - Canada keeps scoring at the CONCACAF Women鈥檚 Under-20 Championship Qualifying tournament.
Olivia Smith recorded a hat trick for the second game in a row to help Canada defeat St. Vincent and the Grenadines 12-0 Sunday night. That followed a 15-0 rout of Martinique in Group A play Friday night at the Estadio Panamericano.
Ella McBride and forward Rosa Maalouf scored two goals apiece Sunday while Jadea Collin, Nyah Rose, Kayla Briggs, Annabelle Chukwu and Jeneva Hernandez Gray added singles.
Two of Smith's goals came from the penalty spot.
鈥淲e've had two games with two different lineups and with these results we're really pleased with the progress," Canada coach Cindy Tye said. "It's really about getting them ready for the next steps. We're pushing them to execute and play very quickly in this short competition. I'm really happy with what I've seen this past week as we look towards our match against Cuba."
Canada faces Cuba (0-1-0) on Thursday and El Salvador (2-0-0) on Sunday.
The 32-teams at the qualifying event have been split into six groups for round-robin play. The group winners advance to the CONCACAF Women鈥檚 Under-20 Championship May 24 to June 3 in the Dominican Republic, joining the U.S. and Mexico.
