Lloyd scored an incredible 13-minute hat-trick including the third from the halfway line as USA thumped the holders 5-2 in Vancouver, with the 32-year-old being named player of the tournament and finishing joint top scorer, though Germany's Celia Sasic took the Golden Boot having also scored six goals but in fewer minutes.
