Wahoo Central Moderator: We are about to get started with the chat. Morgan is here and ready to start answering your questions. Keep sending them in. |
|
|
| Amy: What’s the most memorable goal you have ever scored? For me it was definitely the goal vs. Notre Dame last year! |
 |
|
Morgan Brian: The Notre Dame goal was the most memorable one for me, and the game itself. Hopefully you got to experience it in person. |
|
|
| Jerry Davis (King of Prussia, PA): What is the second thing – your teammates and coaches being the obvious frontrunner – that you will miss about UVA? |
|
|
Morgan Brian: Obviously my coaches and teammates are No. 1. After that, I’ll miss Charlottesville and the Grounds. |
|
|
| chevyboi (Charlottesville ): What is your mindset coming into the game against high point? |
|
|
Morgan Brian: Our mindset is to focus on one game at a time and to improve every time we step on the field. Also, to put together a complete 90 minute performance. |
|
|
| John (C’ville): Another question: UVa has a lot of star-power, but who in your opinion is the most under-rated player that we should watch for in the future? |
|
|
Morgan Brian: That is a good question. I would say Emily Sonnett. Even though she is known as one of the best defenders in the nation, I don’t think she gets enough credit for our success. |
|
|
| Agnieszka Kowalska (Poland): Deep-lying playmaker vs. attacking midfielder. Which role do you prefer? |
|
|
Morgan Brian: Of course, attacking midfielder. I think there are positives to both positions, but I feel that at attacking mid that I have more freedom to be creative. |
|
|
| Brett (Charlottesville): We all know how well you play soccer…what sport are you not good at? |
|
|
Morgan Brian: Tennis. I hit the ball like a softball and it never goes in the court. |
|
|
| Casey (Charlottesville): What has been your favorite class at UVA so far? |
|
|
Morgan Brian: My favorite class has been anatomy and physiology. It was a lot of studying, but I enjoying learning the information. |
|
|
| Dick (Lexington): What is your opinion of playing on natural grass as opposed to artificial turf? Do you think the quality of play suffers on plastic pitch? |
|
|
Morgan Brian: Look up the latest Soccer Girl Problems video on Twitter. That is exactly how I feel. |
|
|
| Megan (Bridesmaid): What is your ALL TIME favorite movie??? |
|
|
|
| Agnieszka Kowalska (Poland): Do you have a special routine or superstition before you play a biggame? |
|
|
Morgan Brian: I always shower before a game. That is basically it. |
|
|
| Jenny (Richmond): If you could pick another sport to play in college, what would it be? |
|
|
Morgan Brian: Basketball. I wanted to try out. I was point guard in high school. |
|
|
| Nikki (Richmond): What does the team talk about when huddling on your knees before kick-off? |
|
|
Morgan Brian: It is one final chance to highlight what our keys are to the game. |
|
|
| Tim (Charlottesville): What country would you really like to visit and play soccer? |
|
|
Morgan Brian: I would say Brazil or Australia. I haven’t been to either of those places before. |
|
|

|
|
| Jessica Burton: Who has the best hair on the team? |

|
|
| Blair: How has your faith impacted your soccer career? |
|
|
Morgan Brian: I have always put my faith first and believe that God has a plan for my life. I believe that I have been given the gift of playing soccer for a reason. |
|
|
| Emma Leigh Ponnett: I don’t believe Emily Sonnett has the best hair on the team because I have heard that she is actually losing her hair. Any thoughts? |
|
|
Morgan Brian: I wasn’t aware she was losing hair. It must be from all the studying she does. |
|
|
| Kara (Charlottesville): What has the Girls Can Club meant to you? |
|
|
Morgan Brian: It is a great avenue for young girls to be mentored by not only a great group of people, but also ones that they look up to as soccer players. I have enjoyed working with the girls and seeing the impact we can have on them. |
|
|
| Larry (Charlottesville): What does All In mean to you? |
|
|
Morgan Brian: All In, to me, is the backbone of our team and program. It is embracing your role on the team and doing it to the best of your ability. It is a reminder that the team’s best interests always come first. |
|
|
| Jordan (Williamsburg): How do you find time to keep your family in the loop with all your traveling? Have you ever gone on a soccer trip somewhere without them realizing? |

|
|
|
| Robert (Charlottesville): Who is your favorite teammate on the national team? |

|
|
|
