Former Cal star Morgan again fails to score against Portland, extending her two-week run of bad luck
The challenging two-week stretch former Cal star Alex Morgan has endured continued on Friday night when her San Diego Wave suffered a 1-0 loss to Portland and Morgan again filed to score a goal.On June 24, Morgan's head coach with the Wave, Casey Stoney, was abruptly and surprisingly fired, never a good omen, especially for Morgan.
Today, I’m disappointed about not having the opportunity to represent our country on the Olympic stage. This will always be a tournament that is close to my heart and I take immense pride any time I put on the crest.Two days later, on June 28, Morgan had a chance to score her first National Women's Soccer League goal of the season when she lined up for a penalty kick against Chicago. But she failed to convert the penalty, and the Wave lost 3-0.
Ellis was the USWNT head coach while Morgan was a regular on the U.S. roster, and as a respected veteran, Morgan was obligated to respond:As players, we have worked hard to build a team that is surrounded by an inclusive, positive and safe environment.Between the missed penalty kick and the accusations against Ellis was Morgan's 35th birthday on July 2.
Morgan started and played the entire match and had two good chances to score. It appeared she had scored a tip-in goal in the first half, but that was waved off because of a close offsides call.
