Sinc was in a league all her own, criminal that Sinc never was voted best in the world (always the bridesmaid, as they say). She is about 50 away from all time most caps (about 100 more than the next Canadians Schmidt and Matheson) and of course is the all time women's leading international scorer

I will add "in my opinion" to my previous statement. She played a position I think that affects the game more overall and she was the main reason they went to the gold medal game at the 2002 U-19 World Cup even though she was 15 I think. I'm basing it on that projection and reading about how great she was at UCLA. That WC was the only time I've basically watched women's soccer.
She was playing sweeper at that tournament and my roommate and I were super impressed by how she controlled the flow of the game. She tore her ACL as a sophmore and was destroyed by further injuries after that. A shame we could never see what she was capable of for a full career.
