Injury Strikes

Morgan recovered from her ankle injury, but then something else happened. In the spring of 2015, just a few weeks before the FIFA World Cup, Morgan sustained a knee injury. The injury presented more than just pain for the young striker, it threatened to remove her from the World Cup line-up that June.

The Big Win

Despite being injured, Morgan recovered enough to make the World Cup squad. She not only recovered, in fact she led her team to a decisive victory over USA’s biggest rival, Japan. The win was huge as it served as the revenge for the loss against Japan back in 2011. She and the team needed a well-deserved break following their massive win.
