USDA offers funding for local food programs DES MOINES (AP) — The U.S. Department of Agriculture’s focus has traditionally been on food production, agriculture and natural resources but under the administration of President Barack Obama the USDA also has taken on a broader rural economic development role.

The agency has funded energy projects, small business loans, upgrades to power lines and other electrical equipment, water and wastewater treatment facilities and broadband expansion to improve high speed Internet. The USDA also has provided funding to help low-income rural residents build their financial literacy and learn to prepare income tax returns.

Providing such financial support seems to stray from the agency’s fundamental role, but Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack said rural development is an important part of its mission.

“Part of our responsibility is to support rural America and I am very much focused on this as secretary,” he said in an interview with The Associated Press. “There are opportunities for the USDA to complement its traditional role supporting production agriculture given the fact that our famers are extraordinarily successful and innovative and efficient and as a result Please see USDA, Page 2A

Kids carry youth-driven ‘Tom Sawyer’ production

By IAN RICHARDSON

CNA staff reporter irichardson@crestonnews.com

It was about an hour before Crest Area Theatre’s regularly scheduled Thursday practice, and 12-year-old Evan Collins and 15-year-old Landon Guhse were already on stage at the Southwestern Community College Performing Arts Center, trading lines and maneuvering through an imaginary set. Soon, 12-year-old Wyatt Franklin joined them.

Other than a large wooden barrel to their right, the stage was bare. The set is still under construction.

Kelly Franklin, Wyatt’s mom

and SWCC’s drama instructor, sat on the stage in front of them, coaching them through the scene. The boys had been there an hour Collins already. By the end of the evening, they had practiced about four hours.

From the light booth, director Jerry Huffman alternated between

watching the actors and talking about Crest Area Theatre’s production of “The Adventures of Tom Sawyer,” which opens Friday night. Huffman said the comedy draws from the classic tale by Mark Twain about a boy in antebellum Missouri with a yearning for adventure and a knack for finding trouble.

He said it’s also a show where

TOM SAWYER:

Deaths

Continued from Page 1

Norma Francis Creston

Norma Francis passed peacefully July 4, 2015 at Greater Regional Hospice House in Creston.

She was Francis 94.

A celebration of her life will be held Friday, July 10 at 11 a.m. at Platte Center Presbyterian Church, south of Creston. The family will receive friends at the church from 5 to 7 p.m. on Thursday, July 9. In lieu of flowers, memorials may be directed to the Platte Center Women’s Association, Gibson Memorial Library or a charity of donor’s choice.

In the fall of 1920 Myrtle (Wick) Lonnecker and George Lonnecker headed west to seek their fortune.

They settled in Silverton, OR, where Norma Lorraine was born Feb. 4, 1921.

Dismayed by bleak weather, slim job prospects, and worms in the cherries, the family returned to the Afton/Arispe, IA, area. What Norma lacked in siblings, she made up for in close friends at the Arispe Consolidated School where she graduated in 1938.

At the start of World War II, many RNs were recruited for military service. Nursing duties fell to young, inexperienced nurse aides like Norma.

Her trial by fire at the hospital in Creston prompted her oft-shared advice: “Sometimes you just have to act like you know what you’re doing, and you might surprise yourself.”

She frequently recalled a particular doctor encouraging her during a challenging procedure: “You can do it, Norm!”

On March 15, 1947, Norma and Donald Francis were married in Minneapolis, MN. They settled on the family farm south of Creston. A “city girl,” she likely had many more “You can do it, Norm!” moments while adapting to the role of farm wife, although she was never seen driving a tractor, nor feeding hogs or cattle.

Don and Norma had four children: Richard, Rebecca (Becky), George, and Michele. Embracing motherhood, Norma supported her children in their many endeavors, emphasizing books, music, nature, and church life. A pragmatic parent, she was

said to let her kids make their own mistakes, remarking, “There’s more than one way to get an education.”

Platte Center Presbyterian Church was a key focus of Norma’s life. There she made lifelong friends of all ages while serving in the Women’s Association, as a Sunday school and Bible school teacher, and in numerous other capacities.

In 1974, Norma had the distinction of becoming the first woman elder of the church.

For 20 years, Norma volunteered as an advocate for nursing home residents, visiting with them about their care, conveying their concerns to the director of nursing and the Iowa Department on Aging.

Don and Norma retired from farming in 1990, and moved to Creston. Unfortunately, Don enjoyed the house in town for only one year before passing away.

Norma faced her new status with grace, and continued to devote her energies toward family, church work, volunteering, knitting, crochet – and books, always books.

Her later years were brightened by her feline friend, Tessa. They shared deep conversations and a particular love of sardines.

Norma’s life was colored with good humor, generosity and unconditional love.

She was preceded in death by her husband Don, infant grandchild, Amber Nicole Hook, her parents, numerous brothers- and sisters-in-law, and most recently, her dear cat, Tessa.

Left to honor her memory are: her son Richard (Kathy), and their children Peter (Lisa), Mathew (Meredith), and Jonathan (Becca) Francis; daughter Becky (Les) Hook, and their children Brandon, Whitney, and Kellsey Hook; son George (Sheri Michaels) Francis; daughter Michele (Jim Arnold) Francis and her children Renee Carlson (Mike) Millslagle, Brad (Cat Gleason) Carlson, Eric McPherren, and Daniel McPherren. Great-grandchildren include Paige, Cameron, and Brendan Millslagle.

True to her practical, generous nature, Norma deeded her body for educational purposes to the Carver College of Medicine at the University of Iowa. The family extends gratitude to Dr. Karen Krogstad and the staff at Greater Regional Hospice House for their extraordinary, compassionate care. home of her daughter in Des Moines.

Services are pending at Pearson Family Funeral Service, 809 W. Montgomery St., Creston.

all the major characters are under 16.

“The kids drive the show,” Huffman said.

“Most of the adults show up in two or three little scenes and then a big scene at the end Huffman w h e r e they have the funeral. So really, the whole show depends on these guys and how good they are.”

This year’s show has six young actors and 14 adults.

Collins, who plays Tom, was Oliver Twist in Crest Area Theatre’s 2013 production of the musical “Oliver!”

As Huffman flipped through a nearby copy of the play, he said Collins has a lot of lines as this year’s lead.

“If you look through this a little bit, you see ‘Tom, Tom, Tom, Tom, Tom’ — I haven’t counted, but it’s incredible amount of lines,” he said. “And Huck has a lot, too.”

It’s a lot to learn in a short time, Huffman said.

For a musical or big show, he said, eight weeks of preparation is ideal. But this year’s cast has had fewer than six weeks of practice, with rehearsals five nights a week most weeks. And Huffman said the cast has worked hard to make this play come together.

“Everybody knew that when they signed up,” Huffman said. “I said, ‘You know, you’ve got a short rehearsal period. You’re just going to have to work your butts off.’ And they have.”

Although the main actors are young, Huffman said they are skilled. Huffman has directed at least a dozen Crest Area Theatre productions and acted in many more, and he said Crest Area Theatre’s board of directors purposefully chose this year’s play to include youth in the cast.

“This area is rich with talent,” Huffman said. “I’ve dealt with kids in small towns, big towns, medium towns, and I’ve had various amounts of happiness and sadness, but here the last two to three years, I have no complaints. All of these kids are tremendous.”

Guhse, who plays Huckleberry Finn, has done a couple one-acts in high school. Franklin, who plays Tom and Huck’s friend Joe Harper, was in a play while

“This area is rich with talent.”

— Jerry Huffman

he lived in Illinois.

For these boys, part of what drew them into the play is the subject matter.

“I hone s t l y love the book,” Franklin said.

“That’s why I joined. I Franklin thought this would be fun.”

The books are also the reason Guhse wanted to play Huck.

“I liked ‘Huckleberry Finn’ the book better than ‘ T o m Guhse Sawyer,’ so I really wanted to try out for that character,” he said.

Collins said he tried out because he enjoyed the experience working on “Oliver!” He describes his character as the leader of the group of boys.

“They look up to him,” Collins said. “He’s smart, so he can get people to do what he wants them to do.

Huck could easily be the leader, but Tom just takes the role.”

Another unique feature of this play, Huffman said, is the Missouri dialect.

“The language is rich,” Huffman said. “It’s Missouri in the 1840s, 1850s, the way Twain wrote it, and it hasn’t been changed much for this. So people say things in different ways than we say them.”

Beyond the cast learning lines and character, Huffman said putting together costumes, props, sets and makeup has been a community effort. Creston: Arts is helping with set painting.

When everything comes together Friday evening, he said, in some of Twain’s own language, the show will be a fun one to watch.

“I think this show will be a ‘whack,’” Huffman said.

“That’s what they say: ‘That’s a whack’ — that’s ‘fun.’”

“The Adventures of Tom Sawyer” opens 7 p.m. Friday in the SWCC Performing Arts Center (YMCA building). Tickets are $8 at the door. Other showtimes are 7 p.m. Saturday and 2 p.m. Sunday.

we’ve seen a decline in the number of farmers needed to produce most of the food we consume. We have to figure out ways to complement agriculture and further develop rural resources.”

Critics have viewed some efforts as outside the responsibility of the department. For example, the USDA’s plan announced

in May to offer up to $100 million in grants to help pay for the installation of 10,000 gas pumps that offer blends of gasoline ranging from 15 percent ethanol up to 85 percent ethanol was met with harsh criticism.

Vilsack makes no apologies for the expanded economic development mission.

“There has been a significant focus on that in

this administration. It’s because this administration is focused on job creation, trying to bring manufacturing back, trying to improve income opportunities,” he said.

Last week, Vilsack was promoting a new round of funding of up to $800,000 for the administration’s Lo-

cal Foods, Local Places program. It’s a partnership between the USDA and other federal agencies to provide direct technical support for farmers markets, food hubs and other local food systems.

Local food sales topped $11.7 billion in 2014, according to industry estimates.

Ads shouldn’t toot their horns!

Dear Readers: Here is this week’s SOUND OFF, about radio advertisements: “I listen to FM radio (Heloise here: not satellite radio) while driving. My Sound Off is about commercials from car dealerships that use a car horn in the ads. Do they realize how distracting that can be while driving? I hear a car horn while driving and get into defense mode, expecting that some collision is inevitable. Lay off the horn!” — L.G. in San Antonio Good point — don’t need another LOUD, distracting noise while driving, especially one that is associated with driving!

The Numbers Game

4

All-Star game starters for the Kansas City Royals, tying an American League record.

National Digest

Four Royals NEW YORK (AP) — Houston second baseman Jose Altuve passed Kansas City’s Omar Infante in the final days of voting, leaving four Royals as starters for the All-Star Game.

Todd Frazier of the host Cincinnati Reds leapfrogged St. Louis’ Matt Carpenter and will be in the NL starting lineup for the July 14 game at Great American Ball Park.

The voting results were announced Sunday.

AL champion Kansas City will be represented in the starting lineup by outfielders Lorenzo Cain and Alex Gordon, catcher Salvador Perez and shortstop Alcides Escobar. Four players ties the AL record for fan-elected starters, achieved nine times previously.

Eight Royals were on track to start in vote totals announced June 15, but first baseman Eric Hosmer, third baseman Mike Moustakas and designated hitter Kendrys Morales also were overtaken.

Seattle’s Nelson Cruz, suspended for the final 50 games of the 2013 season for violating baseball’s drug agreement, was elected to start for the second straight year.

In the closest vote at any position, Cruz’s 10.6 million votes edged Morales’ 10.32 million.

Toronto’s Josh Donaldson will start at third for the second straight year after receiving a record vote total of 14.09 million, topping Josh Hamilton’s 11.07 million in 2012.

Washington outfielder Bryce Harper set a mark for NL players at 13.86 million, topping the previous record of 7.62 million set three years ago

by San Francisco catcher Buster Posey, who was elected to start again this year.

MLB said 620 million votes were cast, breaking the old mark of 391 million in 2012.

At least two elected starters will miss the game because of injuries: Miami outfielder Giancarlo Stanton broke a hand on June 26 and Detroit first baseman Miguel Cabrera hurt his left calf Friday.

In addition, the Cardinals’ Matt Holliday, who finished third among NL outfielders behind Harper and Stanton, has been sidelined since straining a quadriceps on June 8 and is uncertain when he will return.

Pitchers and reserves will be announced Monday.

Los Angeles Angels outfielder Mike Trout will make his fourth straight All-Star appearance after earning 14 million votes, the second-highest total.

NL starters include Arizona first baseman Paul Goldschmidt, Miami second baseman Dee Gordon and St. Louis shortstop Jhonny Peralta, who also was suspended 50 games following MLB’s investigation of the Biogenesis of America clinic.

Coenen catches a piece of history ​Creston grad snags Pujols home run ball

By SCOTT VICKER

CNA sports editor • svicker@crestonnews.com

ARLINGTON, Texas — Dreams do come true.

Tyler Coenen, a 2010 graduate of Creston High School who now lives in the Dallas area after spending last summer working as Operations Manager for the Texas Rangers’ gameused memorabilia sponsor, found out firsthand Sunday evening.

Coenen attended the Texas Rangers home baseball game Sunday against the visiting Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim so he could watch his favorite player, Albert Pujols.

“I was joking with my dad that I got outfield seats so I could catch a home run ball, never thinking it would actually happen,”

Coenen said Sunday evening from the game.

When he purchased his ticket in Section 6, Row 5, Seat 1, little did Coenen know he’d be leaving the game with a souvenir.

With Los Angeles leading Texas 7-1 in the fourth inning, Pujols smacked a line drive laser into left field off Texas pitcher Colby Lewis.

“Any home run ball, it’s pretty distinctive the sound of the ball on the bat,” Coenen said. “Once he hit it, everyone in the outfield jumped up and was waiting for it. At that point, I was like I don’t know if this is real life or not, because it was coming right at me. It was like a dream.”

The ball stayed on its course, until it ended up in Coenen’s outstretched

hand. Coenen, sporting a Pujols Dominican Republic jersey, was seen celebrating the catch on the television broadcast of the game.

“My first instinct was to take my hat off to try to fight through the hands,” Coenen said. “There was no way I could catch it with my hat. I had my hat in my hand and went for it, caught it barehanded.

It kind of scrunched up my hat a little bit. I immediately started freaking out.”

Since Pujols plays for the visiting Angels, the home Rangers fans immediately began yelling for Coenen to throw the ball back onto the field.

Instead, Coenen celebrated even more and pointed to his Pujols jersey.

Panthers cruise past Red Oak in three

By SCOTT VICKER

CNA sports editor • svicker@crestonnews.com

RED OAK — The Creston softball team showed improved patience here Friday afternoon in a 14-0 win over Red Oak. The win came just three days after an 11-1 win over the Tigers at home, in which the Class 4A 10thranked Panthers struggled to adjust to slower pitch velocity.

But Friday, the Panthers took a more patient approach at the plate, and it paid off with 14 runs on 13 hits.

The Panthers got out to a fast start, as Josie Sickels led off the game by reaching on a hard hit ball that went down as an error.

The next five Panthers in the batting order recorded a base hit, as the Panthers scored five runs in the first inning.

Senior catcher Natalie Mostek led the way for the Pant h e r s , g o i n g 3-for-3 at the plate with two Mostek doubles and three runs batted in.

Haylee LaMasters continued her stellar season by going 2-3 with a double, a triple and two RBI. Taylor Briley and Alli Thomsen each finished with two hits and one RBI. “We just came out and the top of the order did a really nice job of timing it up,” Creston head coach Mike McCabe said. “We had a little trouble with that the other night and

had a slow start. Wasn’t until the third or fourth inning did we slow down and put the bat on the ball. We did that early today.

“They just lost to Harlan last night (Thursday) in a good, 9-6, competitive game, so they had a little momentum coming in. It was good to jump on them early.”

LaMasters was dominant in the circle, as well. The Panther senior struck out seven of the 10 batters she faced in the game, LaMasters issuing no walks and giving up just one bloop single over Briley’s head down the third base line.

The Panthers added a single run in the second inning and exploded for eight more in the third inning, ending the game in three innings.

Creston improved to 23-6 overall and 15-3 in the Hawkeye 10 Conference.

The Panthers hosted Kuemper Catholic in a varsity doubleheader this morning, needing to win only one of the two games in order to clinch the outright Hawkeye 10 Conference softball title.

It would be the school’s sixth conference championship in eight years.

“We’ve got to get one of them.

That’s what we’ll set out to do,” McCabe said.

“That’s kind of been like McCabe

I thought it would be, the last couple of weeks in the conference, everybody beating everybody. Kind of crazy. That’s why you’ve got to play all of them.”

Following the doubleheader against Kuemper Catholic, the Panthers are scheduled to host Class 4A sixth-ranked Winterset tonight in a JV and varsity doubleheader, with JV action beginning at 5:30 p.m. and varsity to follow.

Senior night recognition will take place prior to the varsity game.

Junior varsity Creston’s JV team improved to 8-1 for the season with a 12-0 win over Red Oak on Friday.

The Panthers took advantage of eight Red Oak errors in the win.

Mattie Wheeler finished 2-for-3 with a double, while Kiersten Latham was 1-3 with one RBI. Chloe Hagle was 1-3 with two RBI and Cali Foglesong was 1-1 with an RBI. Foglesong struck out two and walked one, while giving up just one hit in the win.

“Good game,” Creston JV coach Teri Keeler said. “Put the bat on the ball and took advantage of some errors along with the hits.”

The Panthers finish the JV season tonight against Winterset.

Tyler Coenen, a 2010 graduate of Creston High School, shows off the Albert Pujols home run ball he caught at the Texas Rangers vs. Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim baseball game Sunday in Arlington, Texas.

The home run, which was the 545th of Pujols’ career and his American League-leading 25th of the season, traveled an estimated 416 feet.

“It was crazy.

I knew what was Pujols happening. It was one of those, like, out-of-body experiences, like is this actually happening right now?

Does someone need to wake me up from a sleep I’m having?” Coenen said.

Coenen said he’d run the situation through his head before, of what he’d do if a home run ball came his way. That’s why he took his hat off.

“I’ve had that situation

in my head many times, thinking, ‘what if?’” Coenen said. “I thought if I took my hat off, it’d be like catching it with a glove. I kind of abandoned that idea and tried to catch it.

Luckily, I didn’t drop it.

That was another fear — I don’t want to drop this.”

It’s the first time Coenen has caught a baseball at a Major League game.

As a lifelong Pujols fan, Coenen had attended Game 1 of the 2011 World Series in St. Louis, witnessing Pujols and his team at that time, the St. Louis Cardinals, defeat the Rangers.

Sunday was another special experience for him, but in a different way.

Panther defense struggles against Treynor

By SCOTT VICKER

CNA sports editor • svicker@crestonnews.com

TREYNOR — Errors hampered Creston here Friday afternoon in a 7-3 loss to Treynor in non-conference play.

The Panther defense, which has been mostly steady this season, committed five errors in the loss.

That, combined with the offense stranding runners on base, proved to be a lethal combination for the Panthers.

“It’s two part. Five errors giving up five unearned runs and then we left runners,” Creston head coach Steve Birchard said. “Two times we had first and second with no outs and tried to move a runner and got thrown out at third. One was a baserunning snafu and the other, we got the bunt down and it went right back to the pitcher. We just didn’t execute our sacrifice bunts today.”

Treynor pushed across two runs in the first inning, but Creston eventually tied the game at 2-2 after scoring single runs in the fourth and fifth innings.

Conner Pals led off the fourth inning by getting hit by a pitch and Chase Shiltz singled. Jaden Driskell hit into a fielder’s choice, leaving runners on first and seco n d .

S h i l t z Hulett t h e n scored on a Kadon Hulett base hit.

Brody Frain led off the fifth inning by reaching on an error, before scoring on a Pals double.

But Treynor came back

to score two more runs in the bottom half of the inning and adding three more in the sixth after Creston scored a single run in the top of the sixth on a Frain RBI base hit.

Brenden McDowell took the loss for the Panthers, giving up just one earned run on one hit with two walks and one hit batsman.

Frain pitched two innings of relief, giving up one earned run on three hits with one strikeout.

“It was unfortunate that Brenden and Brody did a good enough job to get us a win, and defensively, we’ve been playing pretty solid defense. Today our defense let us down,” Birchard said.

“It happens. We’re going to come back and battle next time.”

The Panthers, now 11-11 overall and 10-7 in the Hawkeye 10 Conference, return to action today at Red Oak in a rescheduled game. Creston then travels to Winterset on Tuesday, before traveling to Lewis Central for a varsity doubleheader on Thursday.

Junior varsity Creston lost the junior varsity game to Treynor on Friday, 14-3.

Garrett Dahl finished with two singles and an RBI for the Panthers. Deaven Reese doubled and drove in two runs. Kendall Crawford hit a single.

Crawford also pitched all three innings for the Panthers, giving up eight earned runs on 11 hits with five walks and no strikeouts.

Lloyd hat trick leads US over Japan 5-2 for World Cup title

By ANNE M. PETERSON

AP Sports Writer

VANCOUVER, British Columbia (AP) — Carli Lloyd lives for the big moment. She had her biggest on Sunday night — and gave the United States its record third Women’s World Cup title.

Lloyd scored three times as the U.S. jumped to a four-goal lead in the first 16 minutes, and the Americans overwhelmed defending champion Japan 5-2 for the team’s first World Cup championship since 1999.

A sellout crowd of 53,341 that included U.S. Vice President Joe Biden roared in approval for Lloyd’s hat trick, the first ever in a Women’s World Cup final.

“It’s been a long journey, my career. I’ve had a lot of people believe in me, in my corner, from day one,” said the midfield, who turns 33 on July 16. “I’ve dedicated my whole life to this. Everything else comes second. But I wouldn’t want to do it any other way.”

When it was over, Lloyd collapsed to her knees and pumped her fists. Forward Abby Wambach bearhugged teary eyed coach Jill Ellis, lifting her off the

ground.

Lloyd, awarded the Golden Ball as player of the tournament, scored twice in a span of about 135 seconds as the U.S. led 2-0 by the fifth minute.

Lauren Holiday boosted the lead in the 14th, and two minutes later Lloyd made it 4-0 with an audacious 54yard, right-footed shot from midfield that sailed over goalkeeper Ayumi Kaihori.

Japan closed on Yuki Ogimi’s goal in the 27th and an own goal by Julie Johnston on an errant header in the 52nd. Tobin Heath scored two minutes later, the third goal off a restart for the Americans.

While winning the last three Olympic gold medals, the U.S. had struggled in the World Cup since taking the title at the inaugural tournament in 1991 and then again at the Rose Bowl eight years later.

Christie Rampone, the only holdover from the 1999 team, lifted the trophy with Wambach, the 35-yearold former FIFA Player of the Year who has said this will be her last World Cup. Wambach was among the most vocal opponents of FIFA’s decision to play the tournament on artificial turf.

Louis was much better, just because he was a Cardinal,” Coenen said. “But it’s cool being part of the game, catching a ball he hit. I’ve never even caught a foul ball. It was like for one moment, I was actually part of the game.”

Coenen already has plans

to create a display for the home run ball, along with a box score from the game and a picture of Pujols.

“Just the fact it’s a 500 home run is pretty awesome, because 500 is kind of the standard,” he said.

“The fact I got one after (500) is pretty awesome.

It’s like a part of history.”

WORLD CUP: Continued from page 7A

With FIFA President Sepp Blatter staying away from Canada during a U.S. criminal investigation of soccer corruption, the trophy was presented

by FIFA Senior Vice President Issa Hayatou of Cameroon, the head of African soccer’s governing body.

Hope Solo won her second straight Golden Glove as top goalkeeper of the tournament. She played despite critics who urged the U.S. Soccer Federation to drop her after she initially faced two misdemeanor counts of domestic violence from a June 2014 altercation at her half-sister’s house, charges that were dismissed earlier this year.

Solo, who hasn’t spoken to the media for most of the tournament, proclaimed simply: “We did it! Awesome!”

The title, which adds a coveted third star to the American uniform, also vindicated the USSF for its decision in April 2014 to fire coach Tom Sermanni, who had replaced Pia Sundhage the previous year, and replace him with Ellis, the British-born American who had been an assistant on the coaching staff.

Ellis’ tactics and lineups were criticized early in the World Cup tournament when the U.S. offense sputtered at times on offense. She shifted Lloyd to an attacking midfielder in the semifinal against top-ranked Germany and again in the final, and put 22-year-old Morgan Brian, the youngest player on her roster, in a defensive midfield role.

“I want to thank Jill,” Lloyd said. “I know lots of people out in the stands were worried about us. We all held together.

We all stayed the course. We all executed the game plan.”

Lloyd had come up big before, scoring the winning goals in the 2008 and 2012 Olympic finals.

She put the U.S. ahead in the third minute off a grass-hugging corner kick from Megan Rapinoe, streaking into the penalty area on a diagonal run and using the side of her left foot just in front of the spot to redirect the ball inside the far post.

She made it 2-0 after Holiday took a low free kick from

the flank and Johnston made a back-heel flick to Lloyd, who was 2 yards out. With her right foot, she poked the ball between two defenders and past Kaihori’s outstretched arms.

Lloyd’s third goal came when Kaihori ventured far off her line. The keeper backpedaled and got her right hand on the long shot, but the ball glanced off a post into the goal.

It was the fastest hat trick in World Cup history — men or women — and Lloyd became the first American since Michelle Akers in 1991 to score multiple goals in a World Cup final. The only other hat trick in a World Cup final was when England’s Geoff Hurst scored three times against Germany in the men’s 1966 final at Wembley.

“Miss Lloyd she always does this to us. In London she scored 2 goals and today she scored 3 goals. We are embarrassed,” Japan coach Norio Sasaki said. “But she is an excellent player and I really respect her and admire her.”

Lloyd scored six goals in seven matches during the monthlong tournament, including in every U.S. game in the knockout phase. She raised her international goals total to 69 and joined Carin Jennings in 1991 as the only Americans to win the Golden Ball.

Holiday added her goal to cap a counterattack, volleying in from 10 yards after Azusa Iwashimizu’s header on an attempted clearance bounded high in the air.

Heath scored from 4 yards after a Holiday corner kick, which went off Kaihori’s weak punch to the far post for Brian to play back in front.

Ogimi’s goal was the first Solo allowed after five straight shutouts. The only other goal scored against her came in the first half of the tournament opener against Australia.

The United States went 540 minutes without conceding a goal, the longest streak in the World Cup since Germany’s record 679 scoreless minutes from 2003-11.

Japan’s victory over the United States four years ago was its first World Cup title.
