CHICAGO - Coming off a stellar junior campaign, star forward Morgan Weaver has been called back into U-23 Women's National Team camp ahead of the Thorns Spring Invitational. The soon to be senior spent time with the U-23 team last year, earning a spot on the roster for the invitational in Portland. The 2019 edition of the tournament will take place from March 24-30 with Team USA participating for the third-straight season. USA Coach B.J. Snow called 24 players into camp for the invitational in which Team USA will take on the Chicago Red Stars, Portland Thorns FC and Reign FC.

Last season, Weaver made her mark in the Red, White, and Blue, assisting on the game-tying goal in Team USA's 2-2 draw with the Thorns to end the tournament. Weaver setup Stanford's Catarina Macario, the 2018 MAC Hermann Trophy winner, who scored all four of the American's goals in the tournament.

As a junior for the Cougars, Weaver earned First Team All-Region and All-Pac-12 after putting together one of the best offensive seasons in program history. The offensive leader for the Cougars, Weaver finished the season with a career-best 13 goals, nearly doubling her career total coming into the season. Her 12 goals during the regular season were the second-most among all Pac-12 players before she added a 13th goal in the opening round of the NCAA Tournament against Montana. Making the most of her goals, Weaver netted four game-winners including picking up the winner against No.8 UCLA to begin Pac-12 play while also scoring a winning hat-trick against Washington to close out the regular season. Finishing the year, Weaver scored in four-straight games, prior to WSU's second round NCAA exit against Georgetown, netting six total goals in the run. Weaver ended her season with a career-high 30 points as the junior chipped in four assists to go with her 13 goals, scoring or assisting on 41% of the Cougars' goals on the year. In all, Weaver's season ranked among the best in program history as her 13 goals tied for fourth all-time while her 30 points were the sixth most in a single season for the Cougars.
