When they step onto the field Saturday against Ecuador, striker Kennya Cordner and her Trinidad & Tobago teammates won't be playing just for themselves or their country.  They also will be competing for the entire Caribbean.

PRIOR TO Saturday’s crucial 2015 FIFA Women’s World Cup opening leg playoff against Ecuador in the capital city of Quito, the Trinidad and Tobago women’s football team pulled off an impressive 6-0 victory over the Marco Soccer Academy XI in their closing warm-up game in Mexico City on Tuesday.

QUITO, Ecuador -- Trinidad & Tobago has one lofty goal -- to become the first Caribbean team to qualify for the FIFA Women's World Cup.

Following an intense training camp in Mexico City for the last few days, T&T’s women’s team striker Kennya Cordner says she remains confident that this country can pull off the necessary results over Ecuador.

“The mood has been very good. The staff is a very good one and the players absolutely know what is at stake and are embracing the challenge.”

If T&T’s senior women can clinch qualification for the Fifa Women’s World Cup next year, then this country will be part of the Fifa World Cup tour.

Kimika Forbes, a University of Maine at Fort Kent senior, advances with her Trinidad and Tobago women's national soccer team to the FIFA World Cup fourth place qualifying match against Ecuador this Saturday, November 8, in Ecuador. Due partially to Forbes' attention-grabbing efforts as goalkeeper for the team, Trinidad and Tobago still has the opportunity to become the first Caribbean team to qualify for the 2015 Women's World Cup in Canada.
