Fort Lauderdale United FC signed Cosette Morche to its opening roster for the inaugural season of the USL Super League starting this August.
Standing at 6 feet 2 inches tall, Morche began her time in goal for the Louisiana-Lafayette Ragin’ Cajuns, starting in 15 matches. She posted a .806 save percentage, including recording 100 saves and four shutouts. Morche established herself as a clutch player, coming through for her team crucial game-changing moments, such as making 10 saves in a 2-1 win over Southern Miss.
As a sophomore, Morche tallied 1,409 minutes in the net with a .802 save percentage and two shutouts. She made a season-high of 10 saves against Texas State, with a total of 89 saves for the season.
Morche took her talents to Texas A&M for her last two years as a collegiate player. In her first season as a junior for the Aggies in 2017, she played all 2,050 minutes in goal. Morche registered a 0.75 goals-against average and 0.68 goals-against average. Morche is known as a shutout machine, recording eight shutouts this season. Morche’s quick reflexes and commanding presence in the box made her an unstoppable fortress on defense, with her only allowing one goal or less in 16 consecutive games this season. She was awarded the SEC Defensive Player of the Week for her performance this year.
In her senior year for the Aggies, Morche played all 2,118 minutes in goal with a 0.85 goals-against average and a 17-5-1 record. Morche tied for fourth in the nation in shutouts with 12. Her final year was full of shutouts, denying even the most talented attackers the chance to penetrate her line of defense. Morche ended her collegiate time with a 47-21-6 record, 26 shutouts, 331 saves and a 1.07 goals-against average in 75 matches.
Moving overseas, Morche gained experience at the international level, competing for Eskilstuna United DFF in Sweden for two seasons. She then signed to play with the professional team OL Reign of the NWSL. Morche also spent more time internationally with GPSO 92 Issy in Paris, France, Valencia CF in Spain and Montpellier HSC in Montpellier, France.
Morche brings a plethora of diverse and seasoned talent to Fort Lauderdale United FC’s team this upcoming season. She will be the shield for its defense, serving as a brick wall against any shots that come her way.
