San Diego Wave retire Alex Morgan's iconic No. 13 jersey

SAN DIEGO, Calif. -- Alex Morgan jerseys filled the concourses and seats of Snapdragon Stadium on Sunday, with the iconic No. 13 of every era -- from the United States' red, white and blue, to the San Diego Wave's navy and pink -- on the backs of fans.

But the No. 13 jersey that everyone was there to see wasn't worn by anyone -- and it will never again be worn by another Wave player.

The Wave retired Morgan's No. 13 after the match on Sunday, and presented the USWNT legend with a framed jersey moments after the team's 3-0 loss to the Houston Dash.
