Megan Rapinoe, who is coming off December knee surgery, has been named to the national team roster for the Rio Games along with Carli Lloyd, who has scored in the gold-medal winning final for the United States in the last two Olympics.
Lloyd, who also scored three goals in 16 minutes to lead the United States to victory over Japan in the final at last summer's Women's World Cup, joins fellow three-time Olympians midfielder Tobin Heath and goalkeeper Hope Solo on the roster announced Tuesday. Solo was also an alternate in 2004.
The United States has won the last three Olympic gold medals.
