Rutgers women’s soccer legend Carli Lloyd joined the B1G Tailgate
Two times FIFA Women’s World Cup Champion Carli Lloyd joined the B1G Tailgate before Rutgers football Week 7 game against Michigan State on Saturday.
During her interview, Lloyd described her interest in Rutgers and how the university was on her radar for schools to attend at a young age. While attending Rutgers, she was intrigued by trying to put Rutgers women’s soccer on the map.
The Delran, New Jersey, native had overwhelming success as a Scarlet Knight in 2001-04. She remains a strong focal point of the women’s soccer program. Lloyd is No. 1 all-time in the Rutgers career record books for points (117) and goals (50) and is second in game-winners (15) and shots (295). She was elected into the Rutgers Hall of Fame in 2018, holding the single-season records for points (37) and goals (15), and is second in game-winners (six) for the Big East Conference.
