Wambach scores four goals as U.S. wins women’s CONCACAF
Abby Wambach scored four goals and the World Cup-bound United States defeated Costa Rica 6-0 Sunday night in Chester, Pennsylvania, for the team’s fifth CONCACAF Women’s Championship title. Wambach (at left in photo) now has 18 goals in World Cup qualifying, breaking Michelle Akers’ team record (17). Wambach already has the career record for goals with 177, and she leads the team with 14 goals this year. It was the first time a single player has scored four goals in a CONCACAF women’s championship title match. The top three finishers in the championship for the North, Central American and Caribbean region earned World Cup bids: Mexico secured a berth with a 4-2 victory over Trinidad and Tobago in the third-place match earlier on Sunday. – AP
