Alex Morgan Bio. Alexandra Patricia Morgan (born July 2, 1989) is a North American soccer player from Diamond Bar, California. She is a forward for the Western New York Flash of Women's Professional Soccer and member of the US Women's National Team. Alex is the youngest player on the USA's roster at the 2011 FIFA Women's World Cup.
Career: As a freshman at the University of California, Berkeley, Morgan was the leading scorer for the Golden Bears with eight goals in 2007. Her last goal of her freshman season came against Stanford in the second round of the 2007 NCAA Tournament, tying the game at 1–1 with less than two minutes left in regulation time and forcing the Cardinal into overtime and then to penalty kicks. However, Stanford prevailed, and went on to the third round of the tournament.[1]
Morgan continued to lead the Golden Bears in scoring during her sophomore season with nine goals in 2008, despite being out for part of the season due to national team commitments.[2] The Golden Bears bowed out of the first round of the 2008 NCAA Tournament while Morgan was playing at the 2008 FIFA U-20 Women's World Cup.
At the beginning of the 2009 NCAA season, Morgan was named as a candidate for the Hermann Trophy Watch List,[3] the first Golden Bear to be considered in this category since Laura Schott in 2001. She scored fourteen goals and eight assists during the Bears' 2009 season.[4]
