She is also the captain of San Diego Wave FC of National Women's Soccer League, the top division of women's soccer in United States. From 2018 to 2020, she was co-captained by America's women's national soccer soccer team along with Megan Rapinoe. After graduating early from the University of California, Berkeley, where she played for the California Golden Bears, Morgan was chosen as the number one overall pick during the 2011 WPS Draft by the Western New York Flash. Morgan made her debut as a professional at the time and played a major role in the team's win of the league title. Morgan was only 22 at the time, and was the youngest player in the national team in the FIFA Women's World Cup 2011. The team came in second. In 2012's London Olympics Morgan scored the match-winning goal in the 123rd minute of the semi-final game against Canada. She was second in the U.S. to score 20 goals and 21 assists for 2012, which made her the youngest and sixth most prolific player in the country to score 20 goals in one year. She was awarded the U.S. Soccer Female Player of the Year, and was a FIFA World Player of the The Year finalist. Morgan has also played a role in helping the United States win their titles at the 2015 and the 2019 FIFA Women's World Cups, in which she was selected to the Dream Team for both tournaments, while she won the Silver Boot in 2019.
