SANTO DOMINGO, Dominican Republic — After a dominant showing in Group C play at the 2020 Concacaf Women’s Under-20 Championship, the United States heads into the Round of 16 as it will face St. Lucia on Saturday (3 p.m. ET) at Estadio Olimpico Felix Sanchez.
Estadio Olimpico Felix Sanchez was the site of the Americans’ opening three matches.
The USA rolled through the group stage with nine points, outscoring its foes, 24-0.
In a quirk of this qualifying format, this will be the first match of the tournament for St. Lucia, which reached the Round of 16 as one of four teams to advance directly to the knockout round via a pre-qualifying tournament.
The game will be broadcast live on Concacaf Go, Concacaf Facebook, Concacaf YouTube and TUDN.
The USA has never faced St. Lucia in any competition.
The St. Lucia roster features three players born in 2000, three born in 2001, four born in 2002, five born in 2003, two born in 2004 and one born in 2005.
All 18 players on the St. Lucia roster are based on the island, with the most, five, coming from Challengers FC.
A pair of twins represent St. Lucia in the defense, Steffany and Tiffany Allain, who play for Black Panthers.
