San Pedro’s very own Ada Cordova was awarded with the Most Valuable Player (MVP) trophy, while two other Belizean players, Jasmine Armstrong and Jayda Brown received trophies for Best Goal Keeper and Most Goals respectively.
The first match between Belize and Turks and Caicos took place on Monday, August 26th, with the Lady Jaguars emerging victorious with an undisputed 9-0 game score.
