Abby Wambach's 136th career goal for the USA women's team led the American side past Sweden 3-1 in a tune-up for the London Olympics.
Wambach connected just eight minutes in, then Alex Morgan scored in the 22nd. Sweden's Lotta Schelin scored in the 35th minute, but substitute Tobin Heath sealed the game with a header 11 minutes into the second half.
Wambach's goal came from a goal kick from goalkeeper Hope Solo. Heather O'Reilly won the ball in the air, nodding it to Wambach. She turned a defender and her half-volley from 35 yards caught keeper Hedvig Lindahl out of her goal.
USA will have one day of rest before facing Japan. The Japanese beat America for the World Cup title last year.
