Morgan's four-goals, Kailen Sheridan's shutout lead to 4-0 victory. Coach Casey Stoney's team is 2-0.
As Alex Morgan exited stage left, coach Casey Stoney began her own news conference Saturday night following the San Diego Wave’s 4-0 victory.“I can’t hear you over the shouts of Alex, which is fair,” Stoney told reporters.Morgan had just scored four goals at the University of San Diego in the Wave’s home opener to their first season in the National Women’s Soccer League.
“I feel 90 minutes game fit, I feel in form,” she said after becoming the third author of four goals in an NWSL game. “I definitely feel like I’m doing what I need to do to help this team to be successful, and I’m hopeful that I’ll be back with the national team soon. That’s ultimately my goal — to put back on that jersey and create success with two teams.”“She’s been playing well all season, Alex,” said Stoney, “but, tonight, she went to another level again.
“I want to win games, especially at home, hold down the fort here, represent this city well,” the Cal alum said after joining teammates for a victory lap while waving to a crowd of 5,000.“We want to make sure we do this every single game that we’re here,” she said. “We expect nothing less next week, too.”
