As the only team to not feature at last year's Women's World Cup in Group B, Puerto Rico enter this competition as heavy underdogs.
Having gotten away with conceding over 21 shots in their crucial W Gold Cup qualifying game against Haiti last time out, Nat Gonzalez's side will need to shore up defensively if they are to have even an outside chance of keeping scores respectable throughout the group stages.

| Forwards: | Daphane Méndez, Gloria Douglas, Cristina Torres, Juelle Love, Danielle Marcano, Kennedy Garcia |
Head-to-Head Record
