Coming off a historic year for club and with the U.S. Women’s National Team, forward Alex Morgan has been named as one of five finalists for the 2022 BioSteel U.S. Soccer Female Player of Year.
For the second year in a row, fans will have the opportunity to vote on select Player of the Year Awards, with the fan vote comprising 15% of the total vote. Nominees for all awards are selected by U.S. Soccer’s technical staff. Voting for the awards starts Thursday, Dec. 15 at 11:00 a.m. ET and closes on Dec. 22 at 11:59 p.m. ET. The winners will be announced in the weeks that follow.
Making the case for Alex Morgan for Player of the Year:
- Her first USWNT event this year came in June’s preparation for the Concacaf W Championship. She ended up playing a key role in the tournament while helping the USA qualify for the 2023 FIFA Women’s World Cup and the 2024 Paris Olympics.
- Her two goals vs. Haiti to open the CWC were crucial in kickstarting the USA’s qualifying campaign, and she also scored the game-winner in the championship match, converting a clutch penalty kick for the USA’s 1-0 win over Canada.
