CBSN
Lloyd, who is set to retire at season's end, is three wins away from hoisting the NWSL title for the first time in her career
Carli Lloyd is approaching what could be her final game as a professional soccer player as the 2021 National Women's Soccer League playoffs begin. After making her 316th appearance for the United States women's national team in a farewell international friendly, Lloyd is headed to the quarterfinals with her NWSL club NJ/NY Gotham FC.
The road to the playoffs wasn't easy for Gotham, which had to play without Lloyd during the Olympics and experienced a head-coaching change in August. The club got back on track to navigate their way to the playoffs along with the return of Margaret Purce from injury in September. They then closed out the season with a a streak of eight games without a loss (three wins, five draws).
