Lloyd, 26, has been a well-known figure in South Jersey soccer circles for 12 years, if not longer. But it\’s one thing to be a star in high school, or even at Rutgers, where she was a four-time all-Big East selection.

It\’s quite another to score the only goal in the Olympic gold-medal game, and in overtime, to boot.

The pigs have gone hog wild in New Jersey.

As many as 100 feral swine are ripping up golf courses, rooting through flower farms and generally making a mess of things in the swamps, forests and fields of Gloucester County. Thought to be descendants of domestic hogs freed from pens at least a decade ago, the belligerent boars have mentally and physically regressed and are no longer the familiar pink porkers slopping it up on lazy little farms.
