As Abby Wambach nodded the ball downwards in the penalty area at Subaru Park 15 years ago, Alex Morgan – in her trademark pink, DIY pre-wrap headband – made a well-timed run and came through with a simple finish, a perfect set-up for her first international goal. In retrospect, Morgan described it as "the start of something great," almost an understatement for what came next.
Morgan went on to score 123 goals for the U.S. women's national team, earn 220 caps over 14 years, win two Women's World Cups and an Olympic gold medal along the way – and those are only her accolades on the international stage. Her on-field accomplishments are just one aspect of the collection of great moments that made up her USWNT career, though. Morgan will return to the stadium where she scored her very first
