El-Masri hat-trick leads lady Jags to convincing win over Turks and Caicos

It was yet another superb night for the Lady Jags as they emerged victorious over Turks and Caicos Islands 7-0 and topped Group F.
Three players handled the scoring duties for the Lady Jaguars, as Mariam El-Masri notched a hat-trick, while Cameo Hazlewood and Hannah Baptiste each bagged braces.
The action commenced for the Lady Jags as they came in with a chip on their shoulders after defeating Dominica 4-0 at Leonora. They took control of the game in the early minutes as Hazlewood scored in the 10th minute to give Guyana a 1-0 lead. This forced their opponents onto the back foot and just when you thought things couldn’t get worse for Turks and Caicos, Baptiste scored Guyana’s second goal in the 30th minute.
Guyana were more aggressive in their approach as they constantly aimed for the net; this mentality resulted in Hazlewood scoring the third goal in the 40th minute to close out the first half 3-0.

Turks and Caicos tried, but it wasn’t good enough; their efforts seemed futile against the roar of the Jaguars. El-Masri further tightened the rope around their necks with goals in the 48th and 61st minute respectively. With the score reading 5-0, the mood changed in the Turks and Caicos camp as they could only play out whatever time remained in the game.
But the Jags were not done, they further stamped their authority as Baptiste scored her second goal in the 72nd minute and El-Masri her third in the 84th minute to close out the game 7-0.
At the end of the game, the stats showed that the Lady Jags attempted 35 shots while their opponents registered none. Thirteen of the Jags’ shots were aimed at the goal, and they had 58 per cent possession of the ball compared to their opponents’ 42 per cent.
