More on Lloyd :

Rutgers Scarlet Knights, 2001-2004[edit]
Lloyd attended Rutgers University from 2001 to 2004 where she played for the Scarlet Knights women's soccer team under head coach Glenn Crooks. She was named First-Team All-Big East for four straight years – the first athlete at Rutgers to do so. She ended her collegiate career as the school's all-time leader in points (117), goals (50), and shots.[5]

During her freshman season, Lloyd started every match and was the team's leading scorer with 15 goals for a total of 37 points. She was named to Soccer America's All-Freshman Team and was the first Rutgers player to earn Big East Rookie of the Year honors.[5] As a sophomore, she was the team's leading scorer for the second consecutive season with 12 goals and seven assists for 31 points. The same year Lloyd was a finalist for the Hermann Trophy, widely considered the highest accolade for collegiate soccer players.[5] During her third season with the Scarlet Knights, she scored 13 goals and served 2 assists for a total of 28 points and was named a Big East Academic All-Star.[5][7] As a senior, she was a starter for 18 of the 20 games she played, scored 10 goals and served one assist. Lloyd was named the 2004 Big East Midfielder of the Year.[5][8]

In 2013, Lloyd was inducted into the Rutgers Hall of Distinguished Alumni.[9][10]

Lloyd attended Delran High School from 1997 to 2000 where she played soccer under the tutelage of Rudy Klobach.[5] As a high school athlete, she was known for her exceptional ball control and skill at distributing the ball from the midfield.[3] During her senior year, she scored 26 goals and served eight assists while captaining her team to an 18–3 record.[5] The Philadelphia Inquirer twice-named her Girls’ High School Player of the Year in 1999 and 2000.[6] She was named to the Star-Ledger All-State First Team twice and received 1999 and 2000 Parade All-American honors. In 2000, she was named the Courier Post Player of the Year and the South Jersey Soccer Coaches Association (SJSCA) Midfielder of the Year.[5
 
Kind of odd the USA looks to be wearing a Nike style Oregon uniform, ugh. What happened to Red, White and Blue ?

Third goal from the half field line was a masterpiece. How many would try that and execute it like Carli did,
 
History made right in front of our eyes !!!! Has there ever been a better performance in a World Cup Final, men or women,, EVER ?
 
That last one was one of the greatest goals ever scored in any WC, men or women. Stunned.
 
This game is breathtaking ! Women's Soccer got a gem to showcase their game !
