United States women's soccer star Carli Lloyd joined some exclusive company by scoring her 100th career international goal Sunday.

Lloyd, a two-time FIFA Player of the Year, pushed the U.S. to a 3-2 lead over Mexico in the 34th minute, and the Americans went on to win 6-2 for their second victory over their neighbors in three days.

Abby Wambach (184), Mia Hamm (158), Kristine Lilly (130), Michelle Akers (107) and Tiffany Milbrett (100) are the other U.S. women's players to score 100 goals.

Lloyd, 35, was playing her first match in Houston since requesting a trade to leave the NWSL's Dash and join Sky Blue FC in January. She was making her 252nd appearance with the national team.

"It's obviously a great milestone, but I've got a lot of things I still want to accomplish left in my career," Lloyd said. "To look back on where I started in 2005 to the player I've become, you don't very often get to sit back and reflect because you're always waiting for that next big thing."

She also scored in the first of the two U.S.-Mexico friendlies this week, tallying a goal in the 54th minute as a second-half substitute during the 4-1 U.S. win Thursday.

Both teams are preparing for World Cup qualifying this fall. The U.S., ranked No. 1 in the world, is the defending World Cup champion.

CONCACAF announced Sunday that World Cup qualifying will take place in October, with group stage matches in Cary, North Carolina, and Edinburg, Texas. The semifinals and final will be in Frisco, Texas from Oct. 14-17.

Mallory Pugh put the U.S. ahead in the third minute, only for Mexico to respond and take the lead through goals from Monica Ocampo and Kiana Palacios.

But Lindsey Horan brought the U.S. back level a minute later before Lloyd put her team ahead for good. Alex Morgan then added a pair of goals on either side of Megan Rapinoe's strike.
