Jamaican female footballers, Omolyn Davis and Kimmia Parker, have been kicking up a storm with Lindsey Wilson College (Blue Raiders) in the USA.
Midfielder Davis, who scored two times in Saturday's 3-0 over Auburn University Montgomery, has taken her tally for the season to nine goals from 16 games.
Davis's team-leading 10 assists makes her the top player on the team with 28 points and she is closely followed by Parker with 10 goals and six assists to be on 26 points.
Japanese Kato Satsuki is the joint top scorer with Parker on 10 goals and two assists to be ranked third on 22 points.
Two other Jamaicans in striker, Sashsheena Stewart with seven goals and 16 points and defender Yolanda Hamilton with two goals and six points, are fourth and ninth, respectively.
Out of a squad of 17 players, Shereen Clarke is the fifth Jamaican on the team that comprises only four Americans and is completed by players from England, Ireland, Scotland, Australia, Japan and Mexico.
Sophomore Davis, who plays for Waterhouse, scored a pair of goals for the third-ranked Blue Raiders in the team's regular season finale. She scored in first half from a free-kick to give her team a 1-0 lead at the break.
In the 55th minute, Davis grabbed her second goal and ninth goal of the season. Freshman Parker scored the game's final goal less than a minute later for the 3-0 lead and eventual victory.
Lindsey Wilson improve to 12 wins, one loss and three draws and will return to action next Monday in the Mid-South Conference semi-finals.
Last Tuesday, Harbour View player, Parker, scored a three timer in the 50th, 64th and 84th minutes in a 7-0 win over West Virginia University Tech at Lindsey Wilson Park.
