EDINBURG — Christine Sinclair scored twice to pass Abby Wambach for the international goals record among both men and women, and Canada defeated Saint Kitts and Nevis 11-0 on Wednesday in the CONCACAF Women's Olympic Qualifying tournament.

Sinclair converted on a penalty in the seventh minute to match Wambach with 184 goals, then broke the former U.S. star's record in the 23rd. To celebrate, she bowled the ball to a group of her teammates, who all fell down. The record came in her 290th appearance for the national team.

“All I could think of was don't miss the net,” she said.
