00:00 I'm guessing Alex Morgan will get another start on Wednesday in the semifinal against
00:05 Canada based on her contributions in Sunday's win over Columbia.
00:10 She didn't score any goals, but she was instrumental in the United States' first two goals.
00:15 The first one, she was taken down in the penalty box when she had a good opportunity to score
00:20 and it was a no doubt about it penalty.
00:24 The defensive player was just trying to prevent a goal and just took Morgan down in the penalty
00:29 area and the penalty shot was converted.
00:32 Then on the next one, it came off a set piece, directed at Morgan and she headed it toward
00:37 Northwinger and nice swung her and she converted on a nice shot to make it 2-0 and that was
00:45 really about it.
00:46 That pretty much cinched it.
00:49 Columbia did have some good scoring opportunities, but with a 2-0 lead, it didn't amount to much.
00:57 Morgan started the second half and had a really good scoring opportunity about midway through
01:02 the half, just about three feet from the goal.
01:05 It would have been a difficult ball to get possession of, but she was real close to the
01:09 goal and she just knocked it over the goal for a near miss.
