U.S.A. beats Haiti in Women's World Cup Soccer Victory Tour

Carli Lloyd had her second straight three-goal game to lead the United States to an 8-0 victory over Haiti. Lloyd scored all three goals in the first half for her fifth hat trick and second in three days, then sat out the second half. She also did it Thursday night in the first game against Haiti, which substituted for the Australian team mired in a labor dispute. She has sixteen goals this year, one more than her previous high set in 2012 and matched in 2014. Lloyd has fourteen goals in her last eight matches as the Americans continue their Women's World Cup victory tour that so far has been a series of routs. The Americans pushed their home winning streak to 100 matches, going to 88-0-12. They haven't lost at home since falling to Denmark on Nov. 6, 2004, during a post-Olympic celebratory tour.
