(AP) — A drenched and elated Abby Wambach stood at midfield with her U.S. teammates after a win over South Korea, watching the goal onslaught on the big screen. They laughed, nudged each other and smiled as one great goal after another by Wambach was shown. It all was appropriate Thursday night after Wambach surpassed Mia Hamm and became the greatest goal scorer in international soccer. Wambach scored four times in the first half to break Hamm's record for international career goals with room to spare in a 5-0 victory. The second-best game of her career gave the 33-year-old Wambach 160 goals in 207 games, two more than Hamm had in a storied 275-game career that ended in 2004. ''I don't think about how I sit in history, in the books,'' Wambach said. ''What my legacy is, that is something I do care about, and something that has eluded me is a World Cup championship. I think every great athlete in these moments, you do have to separate yourself and really celebrate. I am going to celebrate tonight with my friends and family, but at the end of the day, tomorrow when the sun comes up, I still have to keep working on my game to get better. ''I think that is what the best athletes do. They don't AP photo United States' Abby Wambach, center, tries to control the ball as South Korea's Lim Seonjoo, left, and Kim Hyeri defend duringan international friendly soccer match at Red Bull Arena on Thursday. dwell on their championships or records. As soon as they win one, all you want to do is find something new and move toward that.'' Wambach came into the friendly at Red Bull Arena needing two goals to tie Hamm. The chase for Hamm's record of 158 was over with three goals in the opening 29 minutes. She added another in injury time to give her a nice round number. Ali Daie of Iran holds the men's record with 109. ''I can't say how much I look up to Mia and how amazing the record she set was,'' said Wambach, who was doused with a bucket of water after the game. The historic 159th came on a line-drive header that ripped into the twine in the back of the net off a corner kick by Megan Rapinoe. ''I'm just so proud of her,'' Hamm said. ''Just watching those four goals, that's what she is all about. She fights for the ball, she's courageous and she never gives up. Her strength and perseverance is what makes her so great and it's what defenders and opposing teams fear. ''From being her teammate early in her career, I know all she ever wanted to do was win, and she continues to do that. I'm just glad I got to share 158 with her. It was short, but it was fun.'' After the record-setting goal, Wambach turned and ran a couple of steps in the direction of the U.S. bench, then stopped as Rapinoe jumped into her arms. The Rochester, N.Y., native was then mobbed by teammates on the field and those who streamed off the bench as the crowd of 18,961 at Red Bull Arena cheered wildly.

''Ultimately it's going to be decided on the ice, but our coaching staff, the Bruins as well, they have a lot to say with what goes on.'' They've already had an impact. And the next move, along with the response from the other bench, could be a deciding factor in who wins this tight series between two of the NHL's most beloved SONOMA (AP) — The pressure if off Juan Pablo Montoya to win at Sonoma Raceway, where his road course background has created an expectation for him to win every year. As he inches closer to finally winning on an oval track, the annual stop at the 1.99-mile road course has become less stressful. Montoya has four top-10s in six career starts at Sonoma, where he won his first career Sprint Cup race in 2007. ''We've been running really good on ovals, but I'm excited to come here and see how we run,'' Montoya said Friday. ''I think it's exciting to come here because first we've got a shot at a win, worst-case scenario we can score a lot of points. We've got to make sure we execute and do our things right and see what happens.'' Montoya arrived at Sonoma ranked 22nd in the standings, having made a slow climb behind stronger finishes in the last eight races. He's got three top-10 finishes and contended for wins at Richmond and Dover. He wound up second to Tony Stewart at Dover, where some wondered if the fiery Montoya had mellowed because he didn't put up a fight when Stewart passed him for the win. The common thinking was the old Montoya might have wrecked Stewart to preserve a victory. ''Or old Stewart would have put the old Montoya in the wall. It's a two-way street,'' Montoya said. But it wasn't a fight worth having with Stewart, who Montoya said had a much faster car. ''They told me he was coming on the bottom and he was making time on the bottom,'' Montoya said.

Coaches playing pivotal roles CHICAGO (AP) — They keep tinkering, each of them, looking for any advantage they can find. Claude Julien made a line change in Game 2 that led to a victory for the Boston Bruins. A couple of subtle adjustments by Joel Quenneville helped the Chicago Blackhawks get a big win in Game 4. Back and forth it goes. While the Bruins and Blackhawks compete on the ice, two former NHL defensemen are trying to become the 14th coach with at least two Stanley Cup titles.
