                     HONORING CARLI LLOYD OF DELRAN

                                 ______
                                 

                         HON. THOMAS MacARTHUR

                             of new jersey

                    in the house of representatives

                        Wednesday, July 8, 2015

  Mr. MacARTHUR. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to acknowledge the 
outstanding performance and ultimate victory of the United States 
Women's National Team during the FIFA Women's World Cup.
  On July 5, 2015, the women representing the United States of America 
soared to victory over Japan in the final game of the Women's World 
Cup. I would like to recognize the entire team for representing our 
country with a sweeping and courageous win.
  I would like to congratulate Carli Lloyd, who grew up in Delran, New 
Jersey, for a truly heroic performance and the ultimate representation 
of her hometown in New Jersey's third Congressional district. Ms. 
Lloyd's brilliant play in the Women's World Cup concluded with the 
first hat trick in WWC Final history. Not only did Ms. Lloyd win the 
Golden Ball Award, but she inspired our country with her passion, 
leadership and fearless execution that led the United States Women's 
National Team to become the first team to win three FIFA Women's World 
Cup titles.
  Carli Lloyd continues to represent New Jersey's third Congressional 
District with honor and distinction and I am proud to represent her in 
Congress.
