Burnaby international Christine Sinclair notched her 120th career goal for Canada with the gamewinner in a 2-1 win over Sweden this week.

Canada came back from a 1-0 first-half deficit with a strong second half performance in the international friendly played in Phoenix, Arizona on Nov. 22.

Chelsea Buckland came off the bench in the latter half to post her first-ever international goal, leveling the score in the 75th minute.

Sinclair then scored her milestone marker in added time.

Sinclair's goal marked Canada's 14th win of the season, a new national team record.

Canada's record in 2011 is 14 wins, four draws and six losses.

Canada will host a regional Olympic qualifying tournament in Vancouver Jan. 19 to 29.
