VANCOUVER, British Columbia (AP) - Abby Wambach scored twice in the first half to move into third on the career goals list for women's international soccer, and the United States beat Guatemala 13-0 on Sunday to clinch a berth in the semifinals of the CONCACAF qualifying tournament for the London Olympics.
A left-foot tap in the 12th minute and a header in the 14th gave Wambach 129 goals for the U.S. team, moving her past Germany's Birgit Prinz (128). She trails Mia Hamm (158) and Kristine Lilly (130).
The 31-year-old striker's exploits added some meaning to another suspense-free rout for the Americans, who have outscored their opponents 27-0 so far in Olympic qualifying.
Sydney Leroux, earning just her second cap, tied a U.S. record with five goals as Wambach's substitute in the second half.
