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.
QUOTES
Carli Lloyd,
U.S. WNT Midfielder
"Eating healthy definitely helps in all
aspects when it comes to training and performing, but USANA helps
give me that extra boost I need to push myself to the limit and
stay ahead of my competition. I am thrilled to be working with a
company that values my health the way I do."
Dan Macuga, USANA Chief Communications Officer
"Soccer is the most commonly played sport in the world and is one
that all 19 of our markets can relate to. We are excited to expand
our Team USANA roster to represent an array of sports, and welcome

family. We look forward to working with her as she works toward
World Cup gold."
