Alex Morgan says it feels like a homecoming every time she returns to StubHub Center to play for the United States women’s national team.
“I have a lot of family there. I grew up there,” said Morgan, who attended Diamond Bar High and played youth soccer in Cypress. “I usually have over 100 coming to any game that I play there.”
This time, the homecoming is truly about coming home. Last winter, Morgan’s husband, Servando Carrasco, moved to Manhattan Beach after being traded from Orlando City to the Galaxy. This week, as the women’s national team prepares for a friendly against Chile on Friday at StubHub, marks the most time the couple has spent together in eight months.
