International career

Baxter has been capped over 100 times by Canada, scoring four times. However, at the U-19 level where she played more often as a forward, Baxter found significant scoring success.

Baxter won the gold medal at the 2011 Pan American Games soccer tournament when Canada defeated Brazil 4–3 in penalty kicks.
