Carli Lloyd Update

Last saw Carli two weeks ago at the Philadelphia Sportswriters Association banquet when she accepted the Athlete of the Year award.  Pretty cool seeing that, and also my old high school buddy, Dave Montgomery of the Phillies, receive the Ed Snider Lifetime Distinguished Humanitarian Award.

Only had a chance to briefly say hi to Carli before the dinner and then got in a short line to get her to sign the program to my granddaughter, Allison.

Back on the soccer field, Lloyd scored the only goal last night as the U.S. women beat Mexico, 1-0, to clinch a spot in the semi-finals of the Concacaf Olympic qualifying semifinals February 19 in Houston.  The winners of the semifinal matches on February 19 will qualify for the Rio Olympics.  The New York Times ran an AP story of the game.

And finally, here's an in-depth interview Seth Davis did with Carli on Campus Insiders on February 11.
