[dropcap size=small]M[/dropcap]exico defeated Trinidad & Tobago, 4-2, in extra time in the third-place match of the 2014 CONCACAF Women’s Championship. With the win, Mexico qualified for the 2015 FIFA Women’s World Cup in Canada.

Trinidad & Tobago will face Ecuador in a two-leg playoff series for the final spot at next year’s World Cup.

Charlyn Corral scored twice for Mexico, once each in the extra-time periods, to seal the victory against Trinidad & Tobago. The Soca Princesses equalized in the 57th minute off a Kennya Cordner goal, and briefly took the lead in the 78th minute off a Mariah Shade goal. Mexico cam back to equalize in the 79th off a Monica Ocampo goal.

Cynthia Hobgood was there to capture the action.
