Alexandra Patricia Morgan (born July 2, 1989), née Alexandra Patricia Morgan, is an American soccer player, Olympic gold medalist, and FIFA Women's World Cup champion. She is a forward for the Orlando Pride in the NWSL and the United States women's national soccer team. Shortly after graduating early from the University of California, Berkeley where she played for the women's soccer team, Morgan was drafted number one overall in the 2011 WPS Draft by the Western New York Flash. There, she made her professional debut and helped the team win the league championship.

At age 22, she was the youngest player on the national team at the 2011 FIFA Women's World Cup. In the 2012 London Olympics she scored the game-winning goal in the 123rd minute of the semifinal game against Canada. She finished 2012 with 28 goals and 21 assists, joining Mia Hamm as the only American women to score 20 goals and collect 20 assists in the same calendar year, and making her the sixth and youngest U.S. player to score 20 goals in a single year. She was subsequently named U.S. Soccer Female Athlete of the Year and was a FIFA World Player of the Year finalist.

Off the field, Morgan teamed with Simon & Schuster to write a middle-grade book series about four soccer players entitled The Kicks. The first book in the series, Saving the Team (ISBN 1442485701), debuted at number seven on the The New York Times Best Seller list for Children's Middle Grade in May 2013. She has endorsement deals with Nike, Nationwide, Panasonic, Coca Cola, ChapStick, and Bridgestone. She married soccer player Servando Carrasco in December 2014. In 2015, Morgan, along with Canada's Christine Sinclair and Australia's Steph Catley, became the first female players to make the cover of FIFA video games. Morgan appeared alongside Lionel Messi on covers of FIFA 16 sold in the United States.

Early life

Born to Pamela S. and Michael T. Morgan in San Dimas, California,[2][3][4][5] Morgan was raised with her two older sisters, Jeni and Jeri in the nearby suburb of Diamond Bar, located approximately 45 minutes east of Los Angeles.[6] She was a multi-sport athlete growing up and began playing soccer at an early age.[7] However, she did not begin playing club soccer until age 14 when she joined Cypress Elite.[8][9] With the club team, she won the Coast Soccer League (CSL) under-16 championship and placed third at the under-19 level.[1]

Morgan attended Diamond Bar High School, where she was a three-time all-league pick and was named All-American by the National Soccer Coaches Association of America (NSCAA).[5] At the school, she was known for her speed and sprinting ability.[10] Morgan played for Olympic Development Program (ODP) regional and state teams as well.[1] She later credited the program as an integral part of her development as a soccer player: "... programs like ODP helped me especially because I did come into the club scene late and it was important for me to play as much as possible, play with the best players and learn from the best coaches. That, for me, was crucial to my development."[11]

At age 17, Morgan was called up to the United States under-20 women's national soccer team. While playing in a scrimmage against the men's junior national team, she endured an anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury and did not play for the team again until April 2008.[12]

California Golden Bears

Morgan attended UC Berkeley, where she played for the California Golden Bears from 2007 to 2010.[13] She led the Golden Bears in scoring in her first year.[1] She scored the final goal of her freshman season during a match against Stanford in the second round of the 2007 NCAA Division I Women's Soccer Championship. The equalizer resulted in a 1–1 draw with less than two minutes left in regulation time.[14] Cal was ultimately defeated during penalty kicks.[15] Despite continued absences due to U.S. national team commitments (2008 FIFA U-20 Women's World Cup and then the senior team) throughout her collegiate career, she led the Golden Bears in scoring and to the NCAA Tournament in each of her four years, advancing to the second round twice.[1]

After being named a candidate for the Hermann Trophy during her junior year, Morgan became the first California player to be named one of the top-three Hermann Trophy finalists. She was also one of four finalists for the Honda Sports Award, given to the best overall candidate in each sport.[1]

Morgan finished her collegiate career ranked third all-time in goals scored (45) and points (107) for the Golden Bears.[16] She graduated from the University of California, Berkeley one semester early, with a degree in Political Economy.[17]

Club career

Western New York Flash, 2011

On January 14, 2011, Morgan was the first overall pick in the 2011 WPS Draft by the Western New York Flash.[18] She was the first California Golden Bears women's soccer player to be drafted in the first round of Women's Professional Soccer (WPS).[19] Morgan scored her first goal for the Flash during the team's home opener—a 3–0 win over the Atlanta Beat on May 1, 2011.[20] Throughout the 2011 season, she played in 14 matches and scored 4 goals.[21] The club won the regular season title and the WPS Championship title the same year.[22]

Seattle Sounders Women, 2012

After the WPS later suspended operations in early 2012 due to legal and financial difficulties,[23] Morgan joined her national teammates Hope Solo, Sydney Leroux, Megan Rapinoe and Stephanie Cox on the Seattle Sounders Women for the 2012 season.[24][25][26] Of her signing, Morgan said, "I am excited to play in a city that is so passionate about soccer. The Sounders have been one of, if not the best fan support in MLS. I can only imagine how Seattle fans would respond to having a full professional women’s team in the future."[27]

Due to her national team commitments and preparation for the 2012 Summer Olympics,[28] Morgan made three regular season appearances for the club. She scored two goals and served two assist in her 253 minutes on the pitch.[29] With the national teammates' presence on the team,[30][31] the Sounders sold out nine of their ten home matches at the 4,500 capacity Starfire Stadium.[32] Average attendance during the 2012 season for the Sounders Women was four times higher than the next closest team.[32]

Portland Thorns FC, 2013–2015

On January 11, 2013, Morgan was one of three U.S. national team players to join the Portland Thorns FC for the inaugural season of the National Women's Soccer League via the NWSL Player Allocation.[33] She scored her first goal for the Thorns during the team's home-opener at Jeld-Wen Field in front of 16,479 spectators helping her team defeat the Seattle Reign FC 2–1.[34][35] She finished the regular season as the team's point leader, and joint scoring leader (with Christine Sinclair), with eight goals and five assists (21 points).[36] The club finished third during the regular season.[37][38] On August 31, 2013, Portland captured the inaugural National Women’s Soccer League championship title after defeating regular season champions Western New York Flash 2–0.[39] Morgan was named to the NWSL Best XI Second team on August 28.[40]

Orlando Pride, 2016

On October 26, 2015, it was announced that Thorns had traded Morgan, along with teammate Kaylyn Kyle, to the expansion Orlando Pride in exchange for the Pride's #1 picks in the 2015 NWSL Expansion Draft and 2016 NWSL College Draft as well as an international roster spot for the 2016 and 2017 seasons.[41]

International career

Alex Morgan with the United States women's national team in Frisco, Texas in February 2012.

Due to the ACL injury that slowed her progress in 2007, Morgan was not called up to train with the United States under-20 women's national soccer team until April 2008.[47] Her first appearance for the under-20 team occurred during the 2008 CONCACAF Women's U-20 Championship in Puebla, Mexico, where she scored her first international goal against Cuba.[48]

Morgan was named to the United States U-20 women's national team that competed in the 2008 FIFA U-20 Women's World Cup in Chile, scoring a total of four goals in the tournament against France, Argentina and North Korea. Morgan's fourth goal of the tournament was a match-winner that gave the U.S. a gold medal, which was subsequently voted the best goal of the tournament,[49] and later FIFA's second-best goal of the year.[50] Morgan's performance on the field earned her the Bronze Shoe as the tournament's third-highest scorer and the Silver Ball as the tournament's second-best player behind teammate Sydney Leroux.[51]

She has been capped by the senior national team, first appearing as a substitute in a match versus Mexico in March 2010,[52] and scored her first international goal after coming on as a substitute against China, which salvaged a 1–1 draw in October 2010. Her most important goal to date came a month later in a crucial road game against Italy. After entering the match in the 86th minute, she scored in the fourth minute of added time to give the United States a 1–0 victory over Italy in the first leg of a playoff to qualify for the final spot for the Women's World Cup.[53]

2011 FIFA Women's World Cup

Morgan was the youngest player on the U.S. national team that placed second in the 2011 FIFA Women's World Cup. On July 13, 2011, she scored her first FIFA Women's World Cup goal in the 82nd minute of the semi-final matchup against France, giving the USA a 3–1 lead and ultimately, the victory. She scored the first goal (69') in the FIFA World Cup Final against Japan after coming on as a substitute at the half, as well as assisting on the Abby Wambach header (104') for a goal in extra time. Her performance made her the first player to ever record a goal and an assist in a World Cup final.[54] Morgan finished eighth in the balloting for the 2011 FIFA World Player of the Year.[55]

2012 London Olympics

Morgan did not become a starter for the U.S. until the fifth game of the year in January, the final of the CONCACAF Olympic qualifying tournament.[56] She scored twice and provided two assists to Wambach that day, in a 4–0 win over the Canadian hosts and has become a regular starter ever since. Morgan scored 14 goals in a 12-game stretch from January to late May 2012, including three straight two-goal efforts. She earned her first career hat-trick on March 7, 2012, during a 4–0 victory against Sweden in the third-place game of the Algarve Cup. In June 2012, she was nominated for an ESPY Award as the Best Breakthrough Athlete.[57]

In the opening game of 2012 London Olympics group play, Morgan scored both the equalizer and the goal that sealed the win against France.[58] In the next three Olympic matches, she assisted on the game-winning goal, including two to Wambach.[59][60][61]

Morgan challenges Japanese defender Saki Kumagai for the ball as Mizuho Sakaguchi (6) and Azusa Iwashimizu (3) look on during their gold medal match at the 2012 Summer Olympics.

Morgan scored the winning goal in the Olympic semifinal match against Canada in extra time, sending the United States to the gold medal match against Japan. Her goal came in the 123rd minute, the latest goal ever scored by a member of the U.S. women's team and a FIFA record.[62] The goal continued her propensity for late heroics in the closing stages of matches. Seventeen of her 28 total goals to date have come after the 60th minute. The game-winning goal was Morgan's team-high 20th in 2012, becoming only the sixth and youngest U.S. player to do so in a single year.[63][64] In the final, a 2–1 win against Japan on August 9, Morgan assisted on a Carli Lloyd header.[65] She ended the tournament with 3 goals, and a team-high four assists (tied with Megan Rapinoe) and ten points (tied with Rapinoe and Wambach).[66] To celebrate her achievements, she was honored at her previous high school, Diamond Bar High School, and #13 was retired.

In 2012, Morgan led the U.S. in goals (28), multi-goal games (9), assists (21) and points (77).[67] Her calendar year goals, assists and points totals are the third-best, tied second-best (one tally shy of record), and second-best, respectively, in U.S. WNT history. Morgan joined an exclusive club as she and Hamm are the only U.S. WNT players to record at least 20 goals and 20 assists in the same calendar year and became only the third and youngest player to reach 20 assists in a calendar year. Morgan and Wambach combined for 55 goals in 2012 – matching a 21-year-old record set in 1991 by Michelle Akers (39 goals) and Carin Jennings (16 goals) as the most goals scored by any duo in U.S. WNT history. She had either scored or assisted on 41 percent of the USA's 120 goals this year. And, by herself, she comfortably out-scored and out-assisted her opponents, who combined for 21 goals and 12 assists in 32 games against the U.S.[56]

For her excellence on the field, U.S. Soccer announced Morgan as the 2012 Female Athlete of the Year.[68] Morgan’s exploits have also earned her a place on the FIFA Ballon d’Or shortlist, ultimately finished third in voting.[69]

2013–2014

At the 2013 Algarve Cup, Morgan shared top-scoring honors. She finished the competition with four assists and three goals, including the equalizer against Sweden that advanced the U.S. to the final and the two goals against Germany that won the championship.[70][71] Morgan previously won the tournament’s golden boot in 2011.[72] On June 2, 2013, Morgan scored two second half goals as the U.S. defeated Canada 3–0 in front of a sold out crowd in Toronto. This was the first match between USA and Canada since the epic semifinal of the 2012 Olympic Games.[73] Morgan was named to her third appearance on the 10-player short list for FIFA Women’s World Player of the Year in 2013 and finished fourth in the voting.[74][75] For the inaugural CONCACAF Awards, she was recognized as the CONCACAF 2013 Female Player of the Year.[76] And as a part of US Soccer's celebration of its Centennial anniversary the Federation revealed the US Soccer's All-Time Women's National Team Best XI, she was youngest player selected at 24 years old.[77]

Morgan had a return of 5 goal in 7 matches for the USWNT in 2014 after returning from injury before she reinjured her ankle at the 2014 CONCACAF Women's Championship, which ruled her out for the rest of tournament.[78]

2015 FIFA Women's World Cup

Morgan scored the only goal in a friendly win over England in February upon her return to the international fold.[79] Morgan was part of the USWNT that won its tenth Algarve Cup in 2015.[80] She scored in the 3–0 defeat of Switzerland.[81]

Morgan spent two months recovering from a knee injury in the build-up to the 2015 FIFA Women's World Cup. Morgan made her first start at the World Cup Finals as the US defeated Nigeria 1–0 in the last group match to advance as group winners.[82] She registered her only goal of the World Cup's knockout stage with the opener in the 2–0 last 16 win over Colombia.[83] Morgan did, however, win penalties for the USWNT in the 2–0 victories against Colombia in the last 16 and Germany in the semi-finals, respectively.[83][84][85] Morgan then started the 2015 FIFA Women's World Cup Final as the USWNT defeated Japan 5–2 to win its third FIFA Women's World Cup.[86] Morgan played in all 7 World Cup Finals matches and started every match since being restored to the starting 11 against Nigeria.[87]

Morgan married Servando Carrasco, also a soccer player, on December 31, 2014.[113] The two met at UC Berkeley where they both played soccer.[114] Although her teammates rarely use it anymore, Morgan was given the nickname "Baby Horse" by her teammates on the U.S. women's national team for her speed, running style, and youth.[115][116][117] Morgan received the key to the city of Diamond Bar, her hometown, on January 24, 2016.[citation needed]
