Carli Lloyd ruled the field Thursday night.
The U.S. women’s national team took on Paraguay in an international friendly and if you took away the other goals from Lloyd’s teammates, there still would’ve been more than enough for the Americans to win the match.
Lloyd scored five of the nine U.S. goals. She scored in the 3rd, 6th, 34th, 38th and 61st minutes of the 9-0 blowout. Andi Sullivan added two of her own while Lynn Williams and Tobin Heath added a goal each.With the scoring barrage, Lloyd moved into third place on the all-time U.S. women’s national team scoring list with 133 goals. She needed three to surpass Kristine Lilly but got way more than that. Only Mia Hamm and Abby Wambach are above her on the list.
"To end my career knowing my family was able to be by my side and share this last chapter with me could not have been any more special. We will all have a lot more time to spend together now, and especially with my husband Brian, who has been my rock and biggest support system for all these years.
