Lloyd’s 2 goals power U.S. win

-

Carli Lloyd scored twice as the U.S. women’s national team beat Switzerlan­d 5-1 in an exhibition match at Minneapoli­s.

Christen Press, Crystal Dunn and Kealia Ohai also scored for the United States, playing its second friendly against Switzerlan­d in a week. The U.S. defeated the Swiss 4-0 on Wednesday night in Utah.

Ohai, who plays for the Dash along with Lloyd, entered the game late for her internatio­nal debut and scored 48 seconds later on for her first goal. It was the fastest goal in a debut in team history — one second faster than Lynn Williams’ goal in her debut Wednesday.
