The final ended with a U.S. victory: a score of 5-2 with a Lloyd hat trick, including one goal scored from midfield. “The three goals in 2015 — I could have had five,” Lloyd joked.

U.S. Women’s National Team midfielder Carli Lloyd scored three goals in the first 16 minutes of Sunday’s World Cup final, a record hat trick that propelled the Americans to victory.

Carli Lloyd has emerged as the star of the U.S. Women's Soccer team during this year's World Cup. The Delran, New Jersey native has scored a goal in each victory on the way to the final.

The 42-year-old Lloyd scored 134 goals, third in U.S. women's history behind Abby Wambach's 184 and Mia Hamm's 158, and made 316 appearances, second to Kristine Lilly's 354.
