SANDY, Utah - In the waning moments of the U.S. womens rout of Mexico, the crowd behind Hope Solos goal began chanting her name. They knew she was on the verge of making history. With the 8-0 U.S. victory, Solo collected her record 72nd shutout with the national team. "The best part about it is the best is yet to come," she told cheering fans when the milestone was announced at Rio Tinto Stadium on Saturday night. She passed Briana Scurry (1994-2008) on the career list. Solo has played in 154 international matches. "Its been a long journey. A lot of tears, a lot of blood, a lot of sweat. Some heartaches, Some incredible moments," she said. "Its crazy to think its been close to 15 years." Alex Morgan and Abby Wambach each scored twice for the United States, which improved to 28-1-1 against Mexico and extended the womens winning streak to 86 straight games on American soil. Sydney Leroux, Heather OReilly and Whitney Engen also scored. The U.S. will host Mexico again on Thursday night in Rochester, New York. Both teams are training for Octobers championship of soccers North and Central American and Caribbean region, which serves as qualifying for the Womens World Cup next year in Canada. The United States and Mexico are in opposite groups for the championships, which will be played in four U.S. cities with the final scheduled for Oct. 26 at PPL Park in Pennsylvania. The United States went up 1-0 in the 12th minute on Mexico captain Alina Garciamendezs own goal. Garciamendez was trying to slow the hard-charging Wambach and stumbled, knocking the ball over goalkeeper Cecilia Santiagos head. Wambach made it 2-0 in the 23rd minute, and Morgan scored in the 36th minute, dribbling the ball off her chest and over Santiago into the goal. Santiago threw her hands up in frustration following the play. Wambach added her second goal in the 41st minute off a feed from Morgan. Morgans second goal came in the 56th minute. Less than two minutes later, Engen scored on a header to put the United States up 6-0. Morgan needs just two more goals to become the 10th player in the teams history to reach 50. "I thought we had a lot of opportunities and I thought we put away a lot. Obviously there were a couple that were close, a couple unlucky shots, but overall I think everyone was really happy with the result tonight," Morgan said. "And just the fact that we didnt really drop our level too much, obviously there was waves her and there, but I thought overall we set the tempo." Morgan made her international debut at Rio Tinto, the home of Major League Soccers Real Salt Lake, back in 2010 — a game that was dubbed the Snow Clasico because it was played in a frigid snowstorm. The United States won that one 1-0 and players made snow angels on the sidelines. Mexicos lone victory over the United States came during qualifying for the 2010 World Cup. Mexico won the semifinal 2-1, forcing the U.S. into the third-place match and then a two-game playoff against Italy for a World Cup spot. The last time the two teams met was in Washington D.C. last September. Leroux had four goals in a 7-0 shutout. Ranked No. 1 for the past five years, the U.S. has been in Salt Lake this past week for its first extended training camp under coach Jill Ellis, who took over on an interim basis when Tom Sermanni was fired in April, and then got the job going forward in May. Ellis is charged with cutting her roster to 20 players for the CONCACAF championship. Ellis praised Solo for her accomplishment. "I tip my hat. Im phenomenally proud of her," Ellis said. "Her teammates worked hard for her to make sure Mexico had lots to do on the other end. Really proud of her. Very deserving." Solo was already thinking ahead. "I still feel young, I still feel good, I still feel healthy," she said. "And hopefully the best part of the journey is yet to come. Hopefully next summer in Canada." Mexico is ranked No. 25 in the world. Baron Davis Jersey . According to TSN Hockey Insider Bob McKenzie, the deal will pay Schenn $2.25 million in the first year and $2.75 million in the second year. In 82 games with the Flyers in 2013-14, Schenn scored 20 goals and added 21 assists. Larry Johnson Jersey . Price also posted the longest shutout sequence since 1960 at 164:19 minutes. He stopped a combined 55 shots in Canadas final two games and 70 of 71 shots in Canadas three elimination games, allowing only a breakaway goal to Lauris Darzins of Latvia. For his efforts, Price was named best goalkeeper by the tournament directorate. Prices outstanding play is marred only by the extremely strong defensive play of Canadas top six defencemen; Shea Weber, Duncan Keith, Drew Doughty, Marc-Edouard Vlasic, Alex Pietrangelo and Jay Bouwmeester. https://www.cheaphornets.com/ . - The Jacksonville Jaguars are leaning more toward playing injured quarterback Blake Bortles against Tennessee on Thursday night.
