Wambach’s 105th goal sends US over Mexico 1-0

SANDY, Utah — Abby Wambach scored her 105th international goal to help the United States beat Mexico 1-0 Wednesday night in an exhibition game.

Wambach put the United States ahead in the 60th minute, when defender Amy LePeilbet served a ball into Kristine Lilly at the top of the box.

Lilly sent it to Shannon Boxx on the near side, and she cut toward the goal before firing past Mexico goalkeeper Erika Vanegas to Wambach inside the far post for a tap-in.

The U.S. players celebrated by making angels on the snow-covered grass.

The United States had 12 shots and eight on goal in the first half, compared to one shot for Mexico.
