Trinidad and Tobago concluded the Pan Am Men's Hockey Challenge round robin phase unbeaten after executing a dominant 13-1 thumping of Paraguay in Peru on September 13.

The victory affirmed them a spot in the title match on September 14, and victory here, guarantees them a spot in next year's Panam Cup in Uruguay.

They are expected to play the second place finishers Peru in the final.

TT's Teague Marcano scored a whopping seven goals to remain the tournament's leading goal scorer.

Shaquille Daniel opened the scoring 32 seconds into the match, followed by three from Marcano before the first quarter concluded.
