Alex Morgan is an American soccer player from Diamond Bar, California (DIAMOND Bar! I wanna go there!!!!) She is a forward for the Western New York Flash of Women’s Professional Soccer and member of the US Women’s National Team.

At age 22 she was the youngest player on the USA’s roster at the 2011 FIFA Women’s World Cup.

In college she was the leading scorer for her team the Golden Bears with eight goals in 2007.

She continued to lead the Golden Bears’ scoring with nine goals in 2008, despite being out for part of the season due to national team commitments. The Golden Bears bowed out of the first round of the 2008 National Collegiate Athletic Association tournament while Alex was playing at the 2008 FIFA U-20 Women’s World Cup, they probably realised they’d be lost without her!

At the beginning of the 2009 NCAA season, Alex was named a candidate for the Hermann Trophy Watch List (the Hermann Trophy is awarded annually by the Missouri Athletic Club to the United States’s top male and female college soccer players) she wasthe first Golden Bear player to be considered in this category since 2001. She scored fourteen goals and eight assists during her teams 2009 season.

In 2011, Alex was drafted number one overall in the 2011 WPS Draft by the Western New York Flash.She was the first Golden Bears women’s soccer player to be drafted in the first round of Women’s Professional Soccer.

Alex joined the United States U-20 women’s national team that competed in the 2008 FIFA U-20 Women’s World Cup in Chile, she scored a total of four goals in the tournament against France, Argentina and North Korea; her last goal scored against North Korea was voted the best goal of the tournament,and later FIFA’s second-best goal of the year. Her 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. Not too shabby really.

She was on the national team when they placed second in the 2011 FIFA Women’s World Cup. She was the youngest player on the U.S. roster. In 2011, she scored her first FIFA Women’s World Cup goal in the 82nd minute of the semi-final match against France, giving the USA a 3–1 lead and ultimately, the victory. So basically…this girl knows her shit and can kick some serious soccer ass!
