@USANAinc Scores Big With Two-Time Gold Medalist And U.S. Women's National Soccer Team Star, Carli Lloyd

SALT LAKE CITY, Sept. 16, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- (NYSE: USNA) Team USA's run in the 2014 FIFA World Cup may not have ended the way fans had hoped this summer, but the nation's and USANA Health Sciences' love of soccer is only growing stronger. So much so that the U.S.-based nutritional company recently partnered with two-time Olympic gold medalist and U.S. Women's National Soccer Team (U.S. WNT) star, Carli Lloyd.

The New Jersey native currently plays for the Western New York Flash in the National Women's Soccer League, and is looking to make her third World Cup appearance next summer in Canada. Lloyd joins more than 600-plus elite athletes who choose USANA to supplement their health, including Colombia's America de Cali soccer team and the Mexican Soccer Federation.

CAREER HIGHLIGHTS

• Netted the gold medal–winning goals in two consecutive Summer Games—2008 Beijing and 2012 London—and is the only player in Olympic history to achieve this feat.
• Represented the U.S. in two FIFA Women's World Cup tournaments in which she helped Team USA win bronze (2007) and silver (2011).
• Has reached 50 career goals, the most ever in U.S. history for a WNT player playing exclusively midfield.
