The Community News caught up with Morgan where she spoke about how she got her start playing field hockey, the team’s success and plans for the future.

Q: How did you get started playing field hockey?

A: Started my freshmen year, it was the first time I picked up a stick. My friends got me involved, they loved Coach Cindy (DePrisco), and they encouraged me to give it a shot. Luckily, I picked it up pretty easily.

Q: In high school most athletes have been playing their particular sport since they were very young. How has your experience been different and what have you learned in only a few years?

A: I came in with a wooden stick and these huge shin guards; they pulled me aside and taught me everything I know. I’ve learned so much. I played soccer forever and didn’t know too much about field hockey going in. But, Coach Cindy and the rest of the team have been great. We had a team sleepover kind of thing and the girls were so great, that’s when I knew I would love being a part of this team and playing the sport.

Q: The team is undefeated right now, what are the team’s goals for the rest of the season?

A: We would love to have an undefeated record. We’re going to do our best and hopefully that’s enough. We’re definitely going to give it our best, that’s for sure.

Q: Do you plan on attending college? Perhaps continuing your field hockey career at the university level?

A: I definitely plan on going to college.  Playing is a possibility. I have no clue where I want to go, yet. Somewhere warm!
