BOCA RATON, Fla. (AP) - Abby Wambach scored twice to help the United States close out the season with a 4-1 exhibition victory over China on Saturday night.
The 32-year-old Wambach has 152 international goals, six behind Mia Hamm for the U.S record.
Megan Rapinoe and Sydney Leroux also scored for the Olympic champion Americans in their third consecutive match against China in the finale of a 10-game Fan Tribute Tour. The U.S. ran its unbeaten streak to 23.
The United States opened the scoring on Wambach's goal in the 18th minute. Alex Morgan's pass from the left wing found Wambach near the 6-yard box, and Wambach headed Morgan's cross inside the left post.
Rapinoe scored in the 36th minute with a 40-yard blast.
China cut the deficit to 2-1 in the 45th minute on Han Peng's goal.
Wambach scored her second goal in the 64th minute, and Leroux capped the scoring in the 87th.
