MONTERREY, Mexico, July 12, 2022 (BSS/AFP) - Jamaica secured a berth at the 
2023 Women's World Cup on Monday, while reigning world champion United States 
and Olympic champion Canada stayed unbeaten in the CONCACAF W tournament.

Jamaica's Trudi Carter scored in the 26th minute, captain Khadija Shaw 
followed in the 59th and 70th and Drew Spence struck in the 79th as the 
"Reggae Girlz" defeated Haiti 4-0 to claim the last available semi-final 
berth at the tournament, and a spot in next year's global football showdown 
in Australia and New Zealand.

US reserve Kristie Mewis scored in the 90th minute to give the Americans a 1-
0 victory over 10-woman Mexico, who lost Jacqueline Ovalle to a red card for 
fouling Rose Lavelle in the 73rd minute. The win gave United States the Group 
A crown.

Canada's Jessie Fleming scored in the fifth minute and Sophie Schmidt 
followed in the 70th to produce a 2-0 victory over Costa Rica and gave their 
team the Group B title.

Two-time defending Women's World Cup champion United States, Canada and Costa 
Rica had already qualified for next year's World Cup by clinching spots in 
Thursday's semi-finals, where the Americans will face Costa Rica and Canada 
will play Jamaica.

Panama and Haiti each finished third in group play to book berths in a 
February global qualifying event for three final Women's World Cup berths.

Marta Cox scored in the 43rd minute to give Panama a 1-0 victory over 
Trinidad and Tobago.
The North American regional tournament is a qualifier for the 2024 Paris 
Olympics as well.

The winner of next Monday's CONCACAF final will secure a 2024 Paris Olympic 
berth. The runner-up and third-place teams will meet in a playoff next year 
to determine another Summer Games qualifier.
