USWNT's friendly against Australia will forever remain an unforgettable game for Alex Morgan. That game saw the 29-year-old register her 100th goal for the national side.
The Orlando Pride ace reached this milestone courtesy of her first-half strike. She broke the deadlock for her nation in the 14th minute en route to a 5-3 win over the Matildas, reaching this excellent milestone along the way.
Morgan became only the seventh player to reach the century mark for the Stars and Stripes, joining a who's who of iconic players such as Tiffeny Milbrett, Carli Lloyd, Michelle Akers, Kristine Lilly, Mia Hamm, and Abby Wambach. Alex is also the third youngest player to record this feat, with only Wambach and Hamm achieving this at a younger age.

And it only took her 159 appearances to pull this off, with her first strike in a United States jersey coming back in 2010 in a friendly against China. How did she net those 100 goals, however? How many has Alex Morgan scored with her right foot, left foot, and head for the USA.

Unsurprisingly, the majority came courtesy of her dominant left foot, 58 to be precise. Despite this, she has managed an impressive 25 goals with her weaker right foot. Another 14 strikes came courtesy of her head while scoring two with her chest and one with her hip -- yes, you read that right.

This achievement will only boost the Olympic gold medalist's confidence ahead of the upcoming FIFA Women's World Cup. The summer tournament being held in France is right around the corner and Morgan will be keen to help the USA, the reigning champion, defend their title when the competition kicks off on June 7.
