Fans of the U.S. Women’s National Team from New Jersey were treated to a thrilling World Cup send-off for Carli Lloyd, Tobin Heath and the other national team players present in a 2-2 draw between Sky Blue FC and Portland Thorns on Sunday night in Piscataway.
Lloyd, the 36-year-old Delran native, found the back of the net twice in the first half and hit the post in a bid for a hat trick midway through the second half that would have put the home team back in front. Heath orchestrated a comeback that erased the lead in a two-minute span.
