Christine Sinclair passes Mia Hamm with 159th international goal

With 234 caps, 229 starts, 159 goals and 41 assists, it's no wonder that Canadian women's national soccer team captain Christine Sinclair is setting records.

In the 2012 CONCACAF Women's Olympic Qualifiers (CWOQ), Sinclair scored a total of nine goals in the tournament. She is currently the leading goal scorer in CWOQ history with 16 goals and counting.

On Valentine's Day, the captain scored her 159th goal vs. Trinidad and Tobago at the 2016 CWOQ in a 6-0 victory.

The performance helped Sinclair surpasse old rival Mia Hamm in international goals.
