A rising star in women’s soccer and American sports in general, Alex Morgan had a breakout season in 2012. A substitute until the 5th game of the season against Canada in the 2012 CONCACAF Women’s Olympic Qualifiers, leading the USWNT in goals (28), multi-goal games (9), assists (21), and points (77), she outscored all opponents by herself for the calendar year and the youngest player in team history. In 2011 she was the youngest player to make the Women’s World Cup squad, scoring her first goal in the 82nd minute in the semifinal against France, before recording a goal and an assist in the final against Japan, the first player to do so in Women’s World Cup history.
