Morgan out for rest of season

Alex Morgan will miss the rest of the season for the Orlando Pride because of a patella stress reaction in her right knee.

Morgan was injured while on duty with the U.S. national team, which won the Women’s World Cup in France this summer, the Pride said.

Morgan appeared in six matches for the National Women’s Soccer League team this season, four before the World Cup and two since.

“It’s obviously difficult to lose a player of Alex’s caliber due to injury,” Pride general manager Erik Ustruck said.

The Pride have three regular-season games remaining. Orlando is 4-15-2 and last in the league standings.

ETC. Virginia coach declines raise

Virginia men’s basketball coach Tony Bennett declined a pay raise offered by the school and instead asked school officials for additional compensation for his staff and program improvement.

University officials said in a news release Monday that Bennett signed a one-year contract extension, but instead of a pay hike for himself, the coach asked athletic director Carla Williams to focus on his staff and the program. The release also stated that Bennett and his wife also made a $500,000 contribution toward a career-development program for current and former players.

Bennett earned nearly $6 million last season and received a $1-million retention bonus. The extension means Bennett is under contract with the school for the next seven years.
