Carli Lloyd’s 100th career national team goal, scored Sunday in a win over Mexico, came at an opportune time. The milestone occurred on the field where she spent three years with the National Women’s Soccer League’s Houston Dash, and also a week before her home debut with her new club, New Jersey-based Sky Blue FC.
Sky Blue will play its home opener Sunday against the Seattle Reign. Kickoff at Rutgers’ Yurcak Field, Sky Blue’s home venue, will be at 5 p.m. Tickets are still available at skybluefc.com, or by phone at 888-SBFC-TIX.
