Trinidad & Tobago - Canada : 3 - 2

Trinidad & Tobago pulled off the historical win and qualified for the Pan American Cup Semi-Finals with a 3-2 triumph over Canada.

At the first whistle, Trinidad & Tobago pressured Canada and forced a penalty corner. Although it was not converted, it set the tone as Trinidad & Tobago kept chasing every pass. Minutes after, Krizia Layne intercepted a pass at the top of the semi-circle and gave teammate Stacy Sui Butt the easy tap in for a 1-0 lead to Trinidad & Tobago in the 7th minute. The game settled down, with both teams creating opportunities. Canada enjoyed more ball possession and got several penalty corners which were squandered. Trinidad & Tobago made them paid with another Sui Butt-Layne combination, with Layne having the last touch for a 2-0 lead in the 24th minute.

In the second half, Trinidad & Tobago's Curlyne Wynn and Nicole Aming played solid defense, but Canada would not be kept at bay. Canada converted a penalty corner in the 45th minutes to narrow the score 2-1. A well timed defensive tackle and penetrative pass from Curlyne Wynn to Blair Wynne, who weaved her way through the defensive and forced an infringement, resulted in a penalty stroke. Sui Butt converted the stroke for a 3-1 lead in the 62nd minute. Canada never gave up and scored a second penalty corner in the 65th by Jessalyn Walkey, her second of the game, but the final score read 3-2 in favour of Trinidad & Tobago.
