SALT LAKE CITY, July 7, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- In what many are considering the greatest individual performance in a World Cup final ever, USANA Health Sciences Brand Ambassador Carli Lloyd led the U.S. to a 5-2 victory over reigning world champs Japan, to take home the 2015 FIFA Women's World Cup title Sunday night. The 32-year-old midfielder scored three of the U.S. team's five goals in an astounding 16 minutes, including the first hat-trick in WWC final history, from center field.
