GROS ISLET, St Lu­cia – The Ja­maican women’s na­tion­al team etched their name in­to the his­to­ry books on Sat­ur­day with an as­ton­ish­ing 18-0 de­mo­li­tion of Do­mini­ca in the 2025/26 Con­ca­caf W Qual­i­fiers.

The match at the Daren Sam­my Crick­et Sta­di­um was a record-break­ing per­for­mance, mark­ing the largest vic­to­ry in Ja­maica’s his­to­ry and a dis­play of of­fen­sive fire­pow­er that left the op­po­si­tion reel­ing from the first ball.

The flood­gates opened al­most im­me­di­ate­ly. Konya Plum­mer start­ed the on­slaught in just the 2nd minute, with cap­tain Khadi­ja Shaw dou­bling the lead two min­utes lat­er.

The goals con­tin­ued in a re­lent­less first-half blitz, with Ki­ki Van Zan­ten, At­lanta Primus, and an own goal from Do­mini­ca’s Ros­alin­da Paul all con­tribut­ing to a com­mand­ing 7-0 lead be­fore the half-hour mark.

The Reg­gae Girlz showed no mer­cy as the half wore on. Both Shaw and Jo­di Brown net­ted their sec­ond goals of the match, and Shaw capped a dom­i­nant first-half per­for­mance by com­plet­ing her hat-trick just be­fore the break.

The sec­ond half con­tin­ued in much the same fash­ion. Deneisha Black­wood, Shaneil Buck­ley, and Natasha Thomas all found the net, with sev­er­al play­ers se­cur­ing braces in the clos­ing min­utes.

Brown com­plet­ed her hat-trick, while Black­wood, Thomas, and Buck­ley all scored their sec­ond goals. Sha­nia Hayles joined the score­sheet in stop­page time be­fore Buck­ley fit­ting­ly closed the his­toric ac­count with the 18th goal in the 92nd minute.

In oth­er games, Mex­i­co ham­mered St. Vin­cent and the Grenadines 14-0, while Cos­ta Ri­ca edged Grena­da 2-1.
