A Delran High School graduate officially is the best women's soccer player in the world.
Carli Lloyd received that honor Monday, winning the 2015 FIFA women's player of the year award.
After Lloyd's heroics in last summer's World Cup, she was a lock to win it. Nobody had ever scored three goals in a Women's World Cup final. Lloyd did it in 16 minutes against Japan.
Her third goal was the highlight that will stay with Lloyd forever. After juking a Japanese defender, Lloyd put her foot into the ball a step inside midfield. Japan's goalkeeper scrambled back but landed flat on her back and put her hands over her head after the ball nestled into the goal.
