Women CAC Games - Day 2

 Dominican Republic beat Bermuda 5-0 in the second round of the Women’s Pool B matches of the 2014 Central American and Caribbean Games to remain at the top of the table with 6 points.

Dominican Republic had a comfortable 4-0 lead at the end of the first half with Agustina BIROCHO registering 2 goals in the 9^th and 32^nd minute. Bermuda worked very hard in defense but found it difficult to get their attack going. Dominican Republic’s Albania MARTE and Benifer MORONTA added 2 more goals with the latter scoring from a penalty corner at the last whistle of the first half.

Both teams had to battle very strong winds during the second half. Dominican Republic scored their 5^th goal when Lucia NAVAMUEL converted a penalty corner in the 44^th minute. Bermuda improved their overall play in the second half and were unfortunate not able to capitalize when Dominican Republic went down to 9 players in the final minutes of the match.  Bermuda who are winless so far are at the bottom of the table.
