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,

history — for women or men — drawing in 25.4 million viewers.
"We are proud to have Carli as a representative of Team USANA
and our world-class products, " said Dan Macuga, USANA chief
