Canada's Christine Sinclair became the all-time leading scorer in international soccer history as Canada crushed St. Kitts and Nevis 11-0 at the CONCACAF Olympic qualifying tournament in Brownsville, Texas.

Sinclair scored her 185th career goal on Wednesday to surpass American Abby Wambach's previous record for men or women.

"Christine has been amongst the upper echelon of Canadian athletes," said Sinclair's former women's national teammate Carmelina Moscato.

"What she has done to sports for Canadians is given us memories that we'll never ever forget.

"The Olympics stand out, but just her consistency over the years -- a top goal scorer, always comes through for the team."
