Goalkeepers

Standing at 6 feet 2 inches tall, Morche began her time in goal for the Louisiana-Lafayette Ragin’ Cajuns. As a sophomore, Morche tallied 1,409 minutes in the net with a .802 save percentage for a total of 89 saves.

Morche took her talents to Texas A&M for her last two years as a collegiate player. Morche’s quick reflexes and commanding presence in the box made her an unstoppable fortress on defense. Her final year was full of shutouts, denying even the most talented attackers the chance to penetrate her line of defense and tying for fourth in the nation in shutouts (12). 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, OL Reign of the NWSL, GPSO 92 Issy in Paris, France, Valencia CF in Spain and Montpellier HSC in Montpellier, France. 

Gottschalk reinvented New Mexico State’s defense with her goalkeeping mastery, orchestrating shutouts exquisitely and repulsing balls from the net. With a career-high of 86 saves as a senior in 2021, the fourth-most in the WAC and tied for fifth-most in NM State history, Gottschalk etched her name into collegiate records.

Gottschalk continued to persist in 2022, emerging as one of the top goalkeepers in the WAC. She ended her collegiate career as seventh in the nation in shutouts (11), first in save percentage (.843) and sixth in saves (91). Gottschalk was awarded the WAC Tournament MVP, and she ranks third in total saves at NM State (235). 

Gottschalk continued to pave her path on the professional field with SCU Torreense in Portugal.
