The team included Zakhari Turner, Gaiya Melakot, Danni Watson [C], Koa Goodchild, Lindsey Pacheco, Satia Burchall, Adaia Gibbons, Trinae Edwards, Emily Cabral, Jaden Masters, Leilanni Nesbeth, Nia Christopher, Jadae Steede Hill, Jazae Smith, Katelyn Madeiros, Megan Titterton, Delia Ebbin, Tianna Mullen, DaZarre Place and Zekiah Lewis.
Earlier this year, the team had progressed to this round by virtue of their excellent performance at the CONCACAF Qualifiers in St Lucia, where they defeated St Lucia 3 – 0, then recorded a 5 – 0 victory over Antigua & Barbuda, and finished with a 13 – 1 hammering of Aruba.
