SAN DIEGO (AP) - There was some old and a new for the United States women soccer team in its win over Ireland.
Carli Lloyd scored three goals to help the U.S. defeat Ireland 5-0 in an international friendly on Saturday at Qualcomm Stadium. It was the Americans' final match before next month's CONCACAF Olympic qualifying tournament for the Summer Games in Rio de Janeiro.
Alex Morgan, playing in her 100th match with the national team, and 17-year-old Mallory Pugh, making her debut, also scored.
"I've looked up to these players for so long and to be able to play with them is just an honor," Pugh said.
