Soccer star Alex Morgan makes history as a mom

By Katie Kindelan

Alex Morgan is a superstar soccer player and now a history-making mom on the field too.

In Wednesday night's final of the SheBelieves Cup, Morgan scored her 14th goal for the U.S. Women's National Team since giving birth to her daughter Charlie nearly three years ago.

The goal makes Morgan the highest scoring mom in USWNT history, the team confirmed on Twitter.
