But it's her actions after the whistle that are just as noteworthy as t her onfield skills.
While shaking hands with the opposition, Morgan comforted Thai Miranda Nild who had been overcome by emotion after the brutal beating.
As Nild wiped away her tears, Morgan stood with her and offered words of comfort.
Nild plays for the University of California's team the California Golden Bears, which is where Morgan started her career.
“I just met her in the hallway, so it’s already friendly,” Morgan told Sports Illustrated after the match.
“I introduced myself to her. I was the proactive one, so I already have the edge on that.
"I’m really excited to see some fellow Cal Bears … For Miranda, it’s just such a great opportunity. She’s a player that’s shown really well with the Thai team.”
